Hard Bitten
by M. K. York
As a newbie public defender, Mark Eliades is stuck defending DUIs. But when
his latest client gets charged with felony arson, the result is a career-making case he
has to win. The last thing he needs is to fall for his key witness. Any hint of
impropriety and his credibility will be shot, along with Mark’s case. But the more time
Mark spends with the jaded private investigator, the more the rules begin to blur. Tired
of endless nights chasing people who don’t want to be found, private investigator Lukas
Nystrom needs a change—and a guaranteed paycheck. When a high-profile contract with the
state falls in his lap, he can’t screw it up. Even if it means ignoring his growing
desire for the hotshot attorney who hired him. Convinced their client is innocent, Mark
and Lukas team up to investigate the crime. With the trial looming and every lead gone
cold, they work relentlessly to uncover the truth. But keeping things professional while
searching for evidence they need might just make this the hardest case they’ve ever
taken on.
