zlib_text: **Sometimes, behind the simplest cases…**
  
  Lawyer Aiden Connolly’s new case seems to be a run-of-the-mill paternity
  dispute. Millionaire Sam Fern suspects that his son is not his own flesh and
  blood, and he wants a paternity test to prove it. Fern’s wife Deena, a
  glamorous former model, is desperate to convince Aiden of her innocence…and
  she will go to _any_ lengths to prove it.
  
   **…hide the darkest truths.**
  
  Meanwhile, Aiden is haunted by the memory of another beauty – Brandy White,
  who he worked to free from a murder charge. The woman he unwittingly fell in
  love with…and the woman who will once again draw him into a tangle of love and
  lies. With more than his reputation on the line, can Aiden hold his nerve –
  when nothing else seems certain?
