Precedent

by Dani Dixon

In this first book of a family saga set in Georgia, we follow young lawyer Genevieve Munroe as she battles Goliaths in the courtroom and generations of her family's sins. After practicing for a few years, Genevieve has grabbed the attention of the partners at her firm. She’s been given her first solo case! But the corporation Genevieve is going up against has deep pockets and a brilliant marketing campaign, while many of her clients are undocumented immigrants paying whatever they can afford. Genevieve is so happy for the opportunity, and such a believer in the cause, she won’t admit that she is in over her head trying a class-action case on her own. With an exhausting career, one family crisis after another and a disintegrating love life, Genevieve’s antennae are down when she meets Harold Hillstead. Perhaps that’s why she agrees to hear him out when he offers to help – claiming he wants nothing in return. Afterall, he’s nearing the end of his career, and has acquired all the money and power he ever wanted. What could he possibly need from her? Genevieve quickly discovers she and Harold disagree on from how to practice law to the history of the United States to modern politics. She’s noticed that Harold seems suspicious of everyone around him. Whether or not he has a good reason remains to be seen. It may not matter, since they don’t trust each other. The only thing these two can agree on – is the secret they both need to keep buried.
