A Nicole Long Legal Thriller

Nicole Long was enjoying an extended vacation after college graduation until her parents gave her an ultimatum: get a job or move out. At least their proviso came with a lifeline, a lead on a marketing role in a growing megachurch. 

Long’s new public relations job is more than she could have ever hoped for until her boss does the unspeakable and the secret behind her pedigree is revealed. Now Nicole must learn to stand up for herself and accept her true identity or else the shame will drown her faster than her growing bourbon habit.

Nicole Long’s promotion to head of the Major Crimes prosecution unit comes with only one caveat, she has to give up drinking once and for all. Nicole knows she can hide her bourbon habit as long as she wins every case assigned to her. The first case her boss Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Lori Pope, assigns her—a cold case murder—isn’t the slam dunk she needs to score a quick conviction for her win column. 

Even worse than an unsolved murder? The victim was her boss’ sister. Lori Pope doesn’t just want Nicole to get a conviction, the top prosecutor wants revenge against her sister’s killer. When Nicole discovers the case isn’t as clear cut as it seems, she must decide between justice for the accused or loyalty to the only job that will turn a blind eye to her addiction.
