Convictions
Maureen McKade

Chicago ADA Olivia Kincaid was dedicated to getting violent criminals off the streets—until a brutal assault nearly took her life. Now, with her world shattered, she retreats to her father's Colorado ranch, hoping to reclaim some lost piece of herself.

Even here she can't feel safe, though—because her father has created a work-release program that allows convicted felons to roam freely about the ranch. But when one of the men arouses a desire she thought was long dead, her deepest convictions are turned upside down. Six years ago, Hank Elliot was imprisoned for a crime he says he didn't commit. Olivia has heard countless criminals claim their innocence. Still, something about the proud, determined man makes her want to believe him.

But when a local woman is found murdered and suspicion falls on Hank, not even Olivia is sure whether the man who's broken through her defenses is a cold-blooded killer.
