Book Description
"THE FALL GIRL is the story of three women involved in a high profile murder trial-the hot-shot lead prosecutor; the young up-and-comer chosen to co-chair the case; and the teenage girl standing trial for the sensational murder of her mother-and the secrets each is compromised by. Its nimble balancing of legal expertise and dark and dramatic psychological suspense reminds me in part of William Landay's DEFENDING JACOB, and a bit (because of the female mentor/protégé dynamic) of DAMAGES, that fabulous FX series with Glenn Close and Rose Byrne from a few years back"--

Book Description
The first time I met Jax Blackwood things went a little sideways. In my defense, I didn’t know he was Jax Blackwood—who expects a legendary rock star to be shopping for groceries? More importantly, a blizzard was coming and he was about to grab the last carton of mint-chocolate chip. Still, I might have walked away, but then he smugly dared me to try and take the coveted ice cream. So I kissed him. And distracted that mint-chip right out of his hands. Okay, it was a dirty move, but desperate times and all that. Besides, I never expected he’d be my new neighbor. An annoying neighbor who takes great pleasure in reminding me that I owe him ice cream but would happily accept more kisses as payment. An irresistible neighbor who keeps me up while playing guitar naked–spectacularly naked–in his living room. Clearly, avoidance is key. Except nothing about Jax is easy to ignore—not the way he makes me laugh, or that his particular brand of darkness matches mine, or how one look from him melts me faster than butter under a hot sun. Neither of us believes in love or forever. Yet we’re quickly becoming each other’s addiction. But we could be more. We could be everything. All we have to do is trust enough to fall
