IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE by Catherine Stang
Is prosecuting the biggest case of your career worth the safety of your family? That is a question District Attorney Julia Davenport asks herself everyday when a dangerous criminal she is gearing up to prosecute is unexpectedly let out in bail.
The man has threatened her in the past and would do anything to keep his case from going to trail. In order to protect herself, she must now rely on a man who she doesn't realize has his own motives for protecting her tied up with his quest for revenge. A man in many ways may be far more dangerous to her than the one she fears.
An edge-of-your-seat suspense from Catherine Stang.

Melanie Rivers is on a mission to help a friend fulfill her dying foster mother's wish. So far every road she takes leads to a dead end until a chance meeting with enigmatic lawyer, Nick Sinclair, leaves her wondering... Could he be the break she has been looking for?
As a victims advocate, Nick Sinclair has helped many abused children, battered women and other crime victims to come forward over the years, but has kept his own painful past buried deep. All he ever wanted was to be left alone -- until now. Yet if he acts on his attraction to Melanie, it will set his past and present on a collision course.
Can Nick let Melanie close enough to heal his wounds or will he allow fear to keep them apart in this new romantic suspense from Catherine Stang?
