Quote:Reggie Knoll imagined all kinds of new adventures after leaving her job at the courthouse, but getting stuck on a jury for a headline-grabbing murder case is not one of them. Picked to serve against all odds, she's determined to do everything in her power to coax the other jurors to a swift verdict so she can figure out what she wants to do with the rest of her life. But a pushy, beautiful woman is about to send her life spinning in a direction she couldn't have anticipated.

Brooke Dawson doesn't want to be on a jury any more than the rest of the people summoned to the courthouse, but she's one hundred percent certain that when the judge calls the names of the chosen few, she'll be on the list. The ominous voice on the phone told her that much right before they threatened her. Now she must convince the eleven other jurors, including the infuriating but devastatingly attractive know-it-all Reggie Knoll, to agree on a verdict-the only verdict that will keep her and her family alive.
