Power. Passion. Protection. While Fighting for Justice

\n
\n

Locke Dangerfield, Shogun Duke, and Macayle Wasilla, of the law firm Dangerfield, Duke, and Wasilla, are not only committed to proving their clients are innocent, but also to ensuring the guilty party is brought to justice… all while managing emotional entanglements for women who intend to change their lives forever.

\n
\n

In Under Fire, Locke Dangerfield is determined to prove his client is innocent, even if he has to bring down government agencies to do so. What he hadn’t counted on was that former Special FBI Agent Hollis Calloway, the woman he hires to assist in the murder investigation, would be a distraction.

As the investigation deepens, Locke and Hollis discover that conspiracy and corruption run deeper than a simple frame-up, putting people in danger and making them wonder who they can trust. When an attempt is made on Hollis' life, Locke is determined to unmask the killer before he loses the woman he loves, and to stop an innocent man from being sent to prison.
