Synopsis
A
woman agrees to help an old boyfriend who has been framed for murder—but begins
to suspect that she is the one being manipulated.
Twenty
years ago she ruined his life. Now she has the chance to save it.
Widower
Jack Harris has resisted the dating scene ever since the shooting of his wife
Molly by a fifteen-year-old boy three years ago. An early morning run along the
Hudson River changes that when he spots a woman in last night’s party dress,
barefoot, enjoying a champagne picnic alone, reading his favorite novel.
Everything about her reminds him of what he used to have with Molly. Eager to
help Jack find love again, his best friend posts a message on a popular website
after he mentions the encounter. Days later, that same beautiful stranger
responds and invites Jack to meet her in person at the waterfront. That’s when
Jack’s world falls apart.
Olivia Randall is one of New York City’s best
criminal defense lawyers. When she hears that her former fiancé, Jack Harris,
has been arrested for a triple homicide—and that one of the victims was
connected to his wife’s murder—there is no doubt in her mind as to his
innocence. The only question is who would go to such great lengths to frame
him—and why?
For Olivia, representing Jack is a way to make
up for past regrets, to absolve herself of guilt from a tragic decision, a
secret she has held for twenty years. But as the evidence against him mounts,
she is forced to confront her doubts. The man she knew could not have done
this. But what if she never really knew him?
