But her Honor was to find it was she who would lose all control of the proceedings -- the day he showed up in her court. His kiss left her breathless, flushed, panting through...
Chapter 14 Hawk's POV The whole way through the trial, I sat with bated breath. When I saw Daniel's sister arrive at the courtroom with my friend Jake, I released my breath.
