Ambitious Hammond Cross has his sights set on the District Attorney's office. Prosecuting the high-profile murder of Lute Pettijohn will practically ensure him the job. But a Saturday night encounter with a beautiful auburn-haired woman who captures his heart without revealing her name could shatter his dream of success. For his beloved mystery woman turns out to be Dr. Alex Ladd, a psychologist with a few dark secrets in her past—and the prime suspect in the Pettijohn case. Did she set Hammond up to be her perfect alibi?

Haunted by the question of Alex's innocence, Hammond is faced with a moral dilemma. If he prosecutes the case successfully, the D.A. position is his. But if he wins, he must sacrifice the woman of his dreams. --jacket
