Tick Tock: A Novel
by Gail Ramsey

Sassy, risk-taking attorney Spiegel Cullen embarks on a murder case that splits delicate daydreams and professional integrity right down the middle. The accused, Breanna Jordan, captivates most with her easy curves and sunlit smile. But Spiegel, who has known Breanna for many years, has seen another side of this sweet hazel-eyed beauty. Hours after Breanna secretly boards a plane back to Philadelphia, the body of her lover washes ashore on the pink, sandy beach of Horseshoe Bay in Bermuda. For more reasons that she cares to admit, Spiegel has mixed feelings about this case. Breanna happens to be the sister of her ex-lover, James Jordan, who scorched her heart after he ended their ten-year relationship. Regardless, Pennsylvania Congressman Felix Jordan wants Spiegel, and no one else, to get his daughter—charged with first-degree murder—"out of this trouble." Spiegel wants nothing more than to carry on with her new man, a scant attempt to move beyond James. But when Spiegel realizes that her dreams erotically involve James, things get complicated. The unfinished business between James and Spiegel plays out in this witty courtroom drama as Spiegel searches for answers to get Breanna off the hook before time runs out.
