Winter's Chance
THREE STRIKES AND YOU'RE OUT
Criminal defense attorney Talon Winter holds a man's life in her hands. Ezekiel Frazier is just another small time drug user, until he gets pulled over in someone else's car with a gun under the seat. Now his past catches up to him and he's facing Strike Three, and a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. Talon doesn't just have to battle a heartless prosecutor who's using the case to get her next promotion. She also has to deal with a social justice lawyer who wants her to throw the case for the greater good, a former investigator who wants to be more than just friends, and her own brother--fresh out of prison with nowhere else to go. It's her chance to win a big case, and save a man's life. But can she really ignore her other chances: to fix the law, to fix her relationships, to fix her brother? She might just have to, if she really wants to be the lawyer she really wants to be.
