Contained

A cold case is not a closed case.

Casey Cort is back at the defense table. But her first criminal trial since returning to the law puts her across the courtroom from someone she knows far too well: her former fiancé, prosecutor Tom Brody.
Tom comes from one of Ohio’s most powerful families. His name, his career, and his future depend on keeping the Brody family secrets buried.
Casey knows where some of those secrets are buried.
When the mastermind behind the crime of the decade finally comes to light, Casey finds herself caught between the client she’s sworn to defend and the man whose confidences she is still bound to keep.
Tom may be as corrupt as Casey remembers. But taking him down could take her client with him.
Some secrets survive because powerful people protect them. Casey Cort is about to find out what happens when they collide with the truth.
