A woman never forgives betrayal. And he doesn’t forget about him. Kate Colson seems too young to be a Texas judge, but she has the power to save the innocent, punish the guilty, even though deep down she has an unsatisfied need to get justice for herself. Separated from her newborn daughter eighteen years ago, Kate is obsessed with finding her child and settling scores with the man who broke her heart, a man who holds enormous power. New elections are coming. The bosses of the local political machine intend to fail Kate. Forced to be twice as tough and resourceful to survive, she hires a private investigator - Sawyer Brock - to penetrate the past. Unexpectedly, Kate realizes that her attitude towards this person is more than simple sympathy, and tries to resist the new feeling.
