New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando returns to her latest, steamy Conflict of Interest series with this electrifying tale of murder, justice, and intense attraction.
Jaxon Bentley is a hardnosed criminal lawyer whose entire life revolves around his work. He’s been asked to represent Scarlett Reyes, a woman accused of murdering her police officer husband in cold blood. All the evidence points to Scarlett being guilty and Jaxon is sure it’s an open and shut case.
But when he meets his client, he can’t help but feel that she’s innocent and that there’s more to the story than meets the eye. With a bit of digging, he uncovers a connection to the notorious Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club and realizes that Scarlett’s case is a complicated and difficult one. It certainly doesn’t help that the two share an immediate and passionate attraction. Will Jaxon be able to prove Scarlett’s innocence or are the two doomed to fail both in court and as a couple?

Review
Jaxon Bentley is a lawyer that's been dealt a blow that cut him deep. But when Scarlett Reyes asks for his help there's something about her that he can't say no.
Finding the real killer and getting Scarlett cleared of the charges, Jaxon will stop at nothing to get what he wants even if he has to beg, steal, or borrow.
The more time they spend in each other's company, the more their attraction grows.
Will Scarlett be the reason Jaxon decides that maybe mixing business with pleasure is for him? Or will the secrets from Scarlett's dead husband come back to haunt her and tear this couple apart? And will Jaxon be able to save her before it's too late.
Seducing the Defendant is a thrilling page-turner that will keeping you on the edge of your seat guessing what will happen next.
I love how deep Jaxon and Scarlett fall for each other despite their past. Each have had heartbreaks but choose to embrace what they have together then let it push them apart.
I was surprised with how much I enjoyed this read since I hadn't read the first book, but Seducing the Defendant has a captivating storyline, witty dialogue, and intriguing characters that keeps the reader engaged.
What I love most about this book is the deep connection Jaxon and Scarlett have, they will do anything for the other just to make them happy. I love how they forged a relationship even when the odds where stacked against them.
Seducing the Defendant is filled with mysterious intrigue, low-angst, a interesting case of characters, and a whole lot of sexiness that I would recommend for anyone looking for a read that will not only get their pulses racing but also their mind.
