At the Hand of Her Father (Sydney Legal #2)

A tale of tragedy and loss...

Blake Harton Junior has it all…

With good looks, brains and charm, at just thirty-three he’s a partner in his grandfather’s prestigious law firm with an enviable success rate for winning even the most challenging criminal law cases. Life is treating him well. Then he agrees to represent Ian Johnson, a man accused of murdering his child.

Natalie Johnson is the mother of the little girl who was murdered by her father. A bitter custody battle has tipped her ex-husband over the edge. Overwrought with the knowledge she couldn’t keep her baby safe, Natalie takes comfort in the criminal charges laid against her ex. The police assure her he’ll be put away for life. It’s small recompense for the loss of her daughter’s life, but it’s something…

Then she discovers Ian is being represented by none other than Blake Harton Junior and her world is turned upside down again. Harton has a reputation for being a ruthless barrister who will stop at nothing to win and he has the success record to prove it.

When Nat comes face to face with her nemesis, she’s taken aback by his good humor and charm, to mention nothing of his looks… But there’s no hiding the fact he’s representing her murderous husband and he’s going to do everything in his power to set him free…

How can she ever forgive a man who thinks it’s all right for a child murderer to go free? How can she live with the blackness and pain if she doesn’t…?
