The Lawyer's Heart
Power. Greed. Murder... D.C. likes to keep its secrets buried—but one lawyer is determined to expose them.
When a young investigative journalist is found dead, all eyes turn to high-profile PR executive Trent Morgan. The evidence is damning. The motive is obvious. The prosecution wants a quick win.
But defense attorney Cadence Elliott doesn’t believe in easy answers—especially not in Washington.
As she takes on the case, Cadence uncovers a dark trail of deception that leads far beyond her client. Beneath the polished surface of the capital lies a dangerous web of political ambition, Big Pharma money, and corrupt officials willing to do anything to stay in power.
The deeper Cadence digs, the more dangerous the game becomes. Powerful enemies want the truth buried—and they’re willing to take down anyone who gets too close.
With her client’s life on the line and her own safety in question, Cadence must rely on her instincts, her grit, and her heart.
The Lawyer’s Heart is a gripping, fast-paced legal thriller packed with twists, moral stakes, and a heroine who never backs down.
Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Peter O'Mahoney, and Scott Turow.

After failing at my first attempt, I figured the answer was no. Maybe I just wasn’t cut out to write fiction. As a young teen, I’d devoured every new Wilbur Smith book I could get my hands on. Then Hemingway got ahold of me. Hunter S. Thompson exhilarated me. Nabokov dazzled me. Raymond Carver floored me. Tom Clancy captivated me. And John Grisham filled me with awe.
After writing three non-fiction books, I decided to turn once more to my first literary love: fiction. I wanted to find out, once and for all, if I could produce the kind of gripping novel I loved to read. Between a full-time job and being a hands-on dad, I used every stolen moment I could find to write my first novel. It took me a year and a lot of hard work but it proved worth it: my debut novel Force of Justice became a bestseller, hitting #1 on Amazon’s Pulp Thrillers chart.
