Burden of Proof

This is the third book of the North Security And Investigations series containing 89,000 words of romantic suspense.

Framed for murder. Escaped from Prison. Her only hope lies in the one man determined to prove her innocence…

What begins as a perfect romantic evening—one in which Paige Dawson hopes is the start of the healing process of her marriage—turns into a terrifying nightmare that spins Paige's life into chaos as she is suddenly the prime suspect in her husband's brutal murder. Sent to the worst prison in the state, Paige discovers hell on earth as she is assaulted, not by the other inmates, but the guards themselves. With no way out and no one who believes in her innocence, Paige has given up hope of making it out of this nightmare that has become her life—until a sudden freak accident opens a way of escape with an unlikely partner.

Liam Salinger, of the NSI agency, is shocked and troubled when he finds himself romantically drawn to alleged murderer, Paige Dawson. As he becomes convinced of her innocence and aids her escape, he begins to question his own motives and actions: Does he really believe she is innocent? Or is he just placating his heart?

Hiding Paige from the law, Liam joins detective Hannah Ramsey in the investigation of Paige's case. As evidence surfaces concerning the death of Paige's husband, the investigation takes them on a rollercoaster ride that leaves them dazed and confused and faced with more questions than answers.
