Caleb McKinley is the arrogant and ambitious assistant DA, and is determined to prosecute April's brother for murder. When he finds the manuscript describing what happened all those years ago, he is forced to take matters into his own hands. Problem is, once April's in his arms, he finds it hard to believe she could be capable of anything but love. Could he be wrong?
