Combine an ornery horse, an arm full of law books, and a beautiful, stubborn woman, and you have Cheyenne Jackson, Criminal Defense Attorney.
She's just landed the most important case of her short career and she'd better not screw it up, her dad's counting on her. Unfortunately her potential client is someone she detests. Holding her nose, she plunges in anyway.
Someone hanged her client's wife and the police suspect it's his cousin...but hold on a moment...Is it true? Was she really murdered? Or was the cause of her death something else, something even more unspeakable? What about the seven other people present at the crime scene, could they have had something to do with it?
Cheyenne's dad warned her about the potential hazards of becoming a lawyer, but did she listen? Apparently not, because determining the truth may cost her more than she ever imagined.
