Everything to Lose
About this ebook
Nothing comes between Jamie Vail and her adopted son. Zephenaya—or Z, as the teen likes to be called—may have had a rough start in life, but that only makes Jamie fight harder for him. When Jamie is called to investigate the assault and physical attack of a beautiful girl from Z's high school that has left her comatose, the seasoned sex crimes inspector can't help but question Z's connection to the case. Especially when a harrowing piece of evidence connects the girl—the daughter of one of San Francisco's most prominent families—to Z . . .
As Jamie pursues the case, Z's new reclusiveness sets off alarms inside of her. And despite their tight bond, nothing she does or says seems to draw him out. Desperate to find a way to clear Z's name, Jamie struggles with her maternal instinct to protect him, no matter what. Uncovering the truth is all that much harder when she has everything to lose . . .
