The Defendant’s Prayer

When defense attorney Sarah Mitchell wins a high-profile case in Oakland, she expects to return to the quiet rhythm of her practice. But when her former opponent-prosecutor Daniel Garrett-calls her with an unusual request, Sarah finds herself drawn into a web of corruption, extortion, and forbidden attraction that blurs every line she's sworn to uphold. As she uncovers secrets that could destroy a powerful family, Sarah must choose between justice and loyalty, law and love.
The deeper she digs, the more she realizes that truth itself may be on trial-and that even victory can come with unbearable cost. A cinematic legal thriller and intimate love story, The Defendant's Prayer explores the fragile intersection of morality, power, and the human heart. Perfect for readers of John Grisham, Lisa Scottoline, and Gillian Flynn, this novel delivers courtroom intensity, emotional depth, and a heroine you'll never forget.
