But she's close enough that when Turner threatens her with imprisonment if she puts one foot wrong, she knows she should run in the other direction.
Until the day an irresistible woman shows up as a witness in his courtroom. But behind his relentless focus lies not only a determination to do what is right, but the haunting secrets of his past-secrets that he is determined to hide, even if it means keeping everyone else at arm's length. Smite Turner is renowned for his single-minded devotion to his duty as a magistrate. The stunning conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Turner series.
