Baltimore Station Widower Penny Ely

"It's a personal request. The client is on the phone right now.""Dani?"It's been twelve years since Danielle Anderson left her broken heart in Baltimore, courtesy of childhood flame Charles Wood. She's moved on, started work as a lawyer, settled down, at least that's what she tells herself, as she orbits Baltimore from a distance, burying herself in cases no one wants, unable to bring herself to visit the city she loves. Then Charles uses his one call to phone her. He's in custody in a station she knows so well, accused of a crime that all the evidence says he committed. The murder of his wife, the woman he left Danielle for twelve years ago. She swears to herself that she'll keep it professional, that this isn't a second chance, it's just the case of a life time with the entire world watching. "I didn't love my wife, but that doesn't mean I killed her."
It's been twelve years since Charles Wood made the biggest mistake of his life. Walking away from Danielle Anderson and into the arms of Megan. With the local police certain he killed one of their best, he knows only one woman capable of saving him from prison and his son from the same foster system he went through in his youth. An agony he'll do anything to protect Jack from, all he needs is a second chance. Widowed in terrible circumstances, a single father desperate to protect his son, he throws himself on the mercy of the woman that he walked away from all those years ago. "Then you have to tell me everything."
All they have to do is resist the old memories, ignore the sparks and remain professional. But nothing is that easy when old wounds and dead police officers are involved.
