Judge Camille Avery, newly appointed to the federal court, is finally back on her dream career path. She's determined not to let any mistakes, past or future, get in her way, but a complex murder case and undeniable attraction to her rebellious law clerk threaten Camille's carefully planned future at every turn.

Attorney West Fallon is a social justice crusader, reluctant to put her career plans on hold to clerk for a federal judge, even if the judge is the man who saved her life. When he's suddenly forced to retire, West is stuck clerking for Judge Camille Avery, an infuriatingly stubborn -- okay, brilliant, intense, and sexy -- law-and-order jurist who seems just as unhappy to be saddled with her.

As Camille and West explore their growing desire and challenge the boundaries of their work and personal relationships, a big case threatens to destroy both their careers. Can their love survive?
