Plot Summary of The Night She Came Home
"Attorney Jesse Brooks thought she had it all - until her husband was fatally stabbed. He dies in her arms, leaving her a widow and a target. She leaves town, changes her name, and tries to move on - until Kyle Whitman walks into her life. Tall, dark, and handsome, he spells trouble when he tries to retain her as his attorney. He's been accused of murder - and it's the murder of Jesse's husband! Torn between doing what's right, and pressure from the police to keep an eye on Kyle, Jesse struggles with her attraction to this handsome stranger as she comes closer to the unspeakable truth of what her husband had truly been up to. As the body count rises, she begins to realize she had never known her husband, nor does she know the people she works with - and she may be wrong about Kyle as well.
