bestselling author Chantal Fernando “turns up the heat” (RT Book Reviews)
in this steamy standalone novel when a divorce lawyer finds himself stuck
between his client and the woman he desires—and soon he’ll be forced to choose
sides.
Hunter Brayze doesn’t always like his clients but as the divorce attorney for Bentley & Channing Law, he doesn’t have to. So when he meets his latest client, even though he can’t stand the guy, let alone understand how any woman would ever marry him, he is still determined to win his case. But he never expects taking this client would turn his entire world upside down.
When he comes face to face with his client’s soon-to-be ex, he’s shocked to see Riley McMahon, owner of his local pub and the woman he’s wanted ever since he first laid eyes on her. He didn’t even know she was getting a divorce, and now he’s stuck defending the man who wants to screw Riley out of everything. Feeling like he’s betraying her, Hunter vows to settle this case as quickly as he can by any means possible. Because after months of flirting with Riley at the pub, and now knowing that she’ll soon be free, Hunter is determined to make her his.
But as the proceedings get messier and secrets are revealed, Hunter’s running out of tricks to keep both parties happy. And when someone sets Riley’s pub on fire, he can’t help but suspect his own client. Torn between his professional code of ethics and his intense connection with Riley, Hunter finds himself at a crossroads wondering whose interests he’ll ultimately protect.

Review
Leading the Witness was such an unexpectedly wild ride. I had an idea in my head what hte book would be like - but in reality it was so much better and different - in all the right ways.
From the first page, the chemistry between Hunter and Riley was palpable, and as the story progressed, it was blaringly obvious these two needed to find a way to be together because they were just right. I really enjoyed the spin on this story, from intriguing characters, to a unique spin that made this story so different from others with similar plots.
Riley was a sweetheart, in the midst of divorce, she only wanted two things - and she didn't want to cause a stir or create problems - she wanted to walk away with her business and her dog. Unfortunately for her - her soon to be ex isn't so keen on not causing problems. Riley's seen Hunter long before her divorce and has him pegged as a manwhore - something she knows she'll need to avoid post-divorce - but once she really gets to know him - she realizes he's changing.
Hunter has known Riley was off limits even though he felt something for her, so when he discovers she's divorcing - he's glad to know she'll soon be available. Unfortunately he's in a touchy position as her ex's lawyer in the divorce.
As these two work through the difficulties of the positions they are in, they really form quite the bond, and an amazing relationship is born of their chemistry and attraction. The cast of characters within the pages, really add a lot to the story, making me not only want more, but also making me want to go back and read the books I missed in the series. There's quite a family feeling to these friends and close coworkers and I love it when a group of characters compels you to know more about them all.
