A former rodeo queen turned paralegal.
A criminal attorney with a soft spot for lost causes.
To find a missing girl, Emily and Jack will have to team up for one wild ride.

"Full of heart, humor, vivid characters, and suspense. Hutchins has done it again!" -- Gay Yellen, author of The Body Business?

Dumped by her husband for a man, ex-rodeo queen Emily Bernal yearns for a fresh start. When a handsome local attorney named Jack offers her a gig, she's not sure if it's the right fit. But after a dead body takes a swan dive right in front of her and she learns a missing six-year-old girl is caught in the aftermath, Emily's heart sends her from barrel racing to paralegal work in a hurry.

As she and Jack interrogate the young girl's tight-lipped mother, a string of strange coincidences don't seem to add up. When sparks fly between her and her boss and dead ends start to become dead bodies, the race to save the girl comes down to the wire. Can Emily and Jack decipher their feelings and the contradictory clues before they become the next victims?

Emily has over 1000 reviews and a 4.6-star average. Available in digital, print, and audiobook.
