Former college football standout Scott Fenney has clawed his way to the top at the powerful Dallas law firm Ford Stevens.

With political pressure mounting and the firm’s leadership eager for a quick conviction, Scott’s career hangs in the balance. The problem is, Shawanda insists she’s innocent—and against his better judgment, Scott believes her.
