The Case for Us - Hardcover

by Madisson Blake (Author)

It's been four years since childhood best friends Kelsi and Dylan last spoke to each other. Now, when their lives are both upended-Kelsi's by a broken engagement, and Dylan's by a near-fatal injury on deployment-they find themselves back in their small, coastal hometown in Virginia. Not knowing the other has returned, they accept positions at the local prosecutor's office and are assigned to prosecute a first-degree murder case together, forcing them to address the past.

Kelsi thought she had moved on from her childhood crush, yet, while working alongside Dylan, she can't help but feel herself falling for him all over again. Dylan isn't sure what happened four years ago that sent Kelsi running from him, but he's never been able to let her memory go. Now, he's determined to get to the bottom of it, especially when he finds out that an officer also has eyes for her.

With missing evidence and less than two months to prepare for the jury trial, the odds are stacked against them. When Kelsi begins to receive anonymous threats demanding she drop the case, she realizes the stakes for her heart-and her life-are higher than ever.
