The Accused
About this book
"A brilliant novel that fans of the genre won't want to miss!"
— Tosca Lee, New York Times best-selling author of The Line Between
When a popular college student is murdered, her international roommate, Anneliese, becomes a prime suspect. But law professor Margeaux Robbins doesn't believe that the quiet, lonely German girl in her class is the killer.
Chase Crandall is a burned-out defense attorney ready to extricate himself from the grind of criminal law. After he loses a client to tragedy, he's ready for an in-house corporate position.
When Chase is assigned to Anneliese's case, Margeaux is horrified. She doesn't want him to provide legal counsel—not after what happened to his past client. And not with the evidence incriminating Anneliese.
Despite their mutual misgivings, the lawyer and professor pair up to find the killer and prove Anneliese's innocence. Will they be able to untangle the mystery—and navigate their growing interest in one another—before the wrong person is charged with murder?
"Gripping and brimming with chemistry, this novel will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page."
— Lynette Eason, best-selling and award-winning author of the Lake City Heroes series
