Breach Of Trust

Description for BREACH OF TRUST by Bonnie MacDougal:

When two million dollars disappear from the trust fund of a rival firm's client, street-savvy South Philly corporate lawyer Dan Casella and his resourceful young assistant Jennifer Lodge must defend the accused embezzler. Naive but well-connected attorney Scott Sterling admits he took the money, but only in a desperate attempt to cover up staggering stock market losses in the account of Curtis Mason, the coal baron trustee who'd been like a father to Scott--and who is now suing for fifteen million.

Late work nights bring Dan and Jennifer together--and to a passion they finally let explode. But when life intervenes, including a family crisis for Dan, a critical career move for Jennifer, and a very human misunderstanding, their relationship is severed--until betrayal, fraud, and murder at the highest tier of Philadelphian society bring them face to face-on opposite sides of the courtroom.
