My husband, Simon Reed, was a top lawyer. He took on a case that shook the whole city, defending his first love, Lydia Winters, who was accused of murder. The night before the trial, he finally begged me for the first time, his eyes bloodshot. "Sarah, I'm begging you. Let Lydia go. Just drop the charges, and I'll do anything you want." I looked at him, the man I'd shared a bed with for five years. He was willing to risk his entire future for another woman, asking me, the lead prosecutor, to bend the law for him. I smiled, gently pulling his hand off my arm, and said firmly, "Simon, I'll see you in court." The light in his eyes vanished, replaced by a chilling hatred. I knew it was over between us. But I knew this was only the beginning. Simon thought this was a battle for love, but he was dead wrong. From the moment he chose to defend Lydia, this had turned into a hunt for justice. Both Simon and Lydia were my prey.
