The Man She Once Knew — Jean Brashear

It's been years since Callie Hunter shook the dust of this town from her shoes. Now she belongs in Oak Hollow no more than her stilettos do. Yet here she is -- back to settle her aunt's estate. Nothing has changed...except for David Langley. The golden boy who captured her heart seems absent from the tough guy who wants nothing to do with her. Fine. Good. She has a duty to do, then she's gone.

Except that David has more than his fair share of legal troubles. That hint of need about him draws her in as though they parted only yesterday. She's got the legal talent to clear his name. And she just might have the heart to save him.
