$10,000,000 Is Missing.
Erin Larson is running out of options. In the wake of her father's death, she found a slim piece of paper--a deposit slip--with an unbelievable amount on it. Only the bank claims they have no record of the money, and trying to hire a lawyer has brought only intimidation and threats. Erin's last chance is Jared Neaton.
How Far Will One Lawyer Go to Find the Money?
When Jared wearied of the shady ethics of his big law firm and started his own, he never expected the wheels to fly off so quickly. One big loss has pushed him to the brink, and it's all he can do to scrape by.
And How Far Will Someone Go to Stop Him?
He's not sure if Erin's case is worth the risk, but if the money is real, all his problems could vanish. When digging deeper unleashes something far more dangerous than just threats, both Jared and Erin must decide the cost they're willing to pay to discover the truth.

Heidi Says . . . I’m not sure what initially led me to choose this book, as the description doesn’t sound like something I’d select. However, when it came, I was immediately drawn to it and became very engrossed in it.
While I’m not really “up” on all things legal, the underlying storylines in this book were really interesting and heartwarming. Cheering for Jared to try to make things right with his father, and for Erin to discover the mystery behind her father’s deposit slip were in the forefront of my mind.
I really enjoyed this book and would read more books by this author. I wasn’t 100% thrilled with the ending. But, isn’t that part of what makes reading books so fun?
