Book excerpt: Veteran author Cara Putman weaves tales of suspense and romance in these three legal thrillers now combined in one collection. Beyond Justice Hayden is on track to become the youngest partner in her prestigious DC law firm . . . If the case she’s just been handed doesn’t destroy her first. The longer she keeps the case active, the higher the stakes become. Unknown enemies seem determined to kill the case—or her. Logic and self-preservation indicate she should close the case. But how can she, when justice is still just beyond her reach? Imperfect Justice The police say the woman was a murderer. Emilie Wesley knows they can't be talking about her client . . . can they? Thrown together in the race to save her client's surviving daughter, Emilie and her client’s brother, Reid, pursue the constantly evasive truth. If they can hang on to hope together, can they save a young girl—and find a future for themselves in the process? Delayed Justice She had long given up the desire to be loved. Now she only needed to be heard. Jaime Nichols went to law school to find the voice she never had as a child, and her determination to protect girls and women in the path of harm drives her in ways both spoken and unspoken. As Jaime, now a criminal defense attorney, prepares to press charges against someone who wronged her long ago, she must face not only her demons but also the unimaginable forces that protect the powerful man who tore her childhood apart.
