Love, Lies,
& the D.A.
By Rebecca
Rohman
Jada
McLean is about to get married in nine days, when she walks in on her fiancé in
a little more than a compromising position. Days later, she’s on a trip that
she intends to be relaxing and a prelude to her fresh start, when she runs into
the rude, obnoxious, but gorgeous Jonathan Kole.
Jonathan
Kole is San Francisco’s newest District Attorney. When he finds himself deeply
attracted to a stunning beauty, he has no idea that she’s about to get into BIG
trouble with the law—and he’ll be the one presiding over her trial. To make
matters worse, his father is the lawyer representing her in the high-profile
case.
When
a series of events force them together over New Year’s weekend, Jonathan’s
feelings and ethics will come into question, while Jada comes to terms with the
fact that she is falling for the man that will be responsible for attempting to
put her behind bars… Little do they know, they're both about to fall into a
whirlwind so deep, it will send both their lives spiraling out of control.

Chapter 1
I am
dying with excitement; I’ve just picked up my wedding dress, and it fits to
perfection. In just over one week from now, I, Jada McLean, will become Mrs.
Richard Preston. Our intimate wedding will be at a beautiful resort overlooking
San Francisco’s North Coast in exactly nine days from today.
It’s
early fall, and there’s a beautiful tinge of an orange glow everywhere. As I
refine the details for the wonderful day to come, I can’t help but think how much
I’ll miss Dad. That said, Mom arrives from St. Lucia late this evening. I can’t
wait to see her.
The
sound of my cell phone interrupts my happy thoughts. It’s Solace, my assistant.
“Hey.
What’s up?”
“Hi,
Jada. Your mom called to say that there has been a delay and you should call
her. She won’t be in until the day after tomorrow.”
“Why
didn’t she call me?”
“She
said—”
“You
know what, don’t bother. I’ll call her. And since I don’t have to pick her up,
I think I’ll head home early today. I have some last minute wedding details to
iron out.”
Twenty
minutes later
, I pull into the parking lot of my high-rise
San Francisco condo.
Strange,
Richard is here. I thought he told me he’d be in a meeting until six this
evening.
Either
way, I’m dying to see him. He came in from a weeklong business trip early this
morning, and because I had a meeting, I wasn’t able to see him. Mommy and I
were supposed to meet him for dinner after I picked her up.
My
private elevator arrives at what is soon to be
our
penthouse, and suddenly, I feel strange. Goose bumps cover my body, and I
wonder if it is because I realize that, in a matter of days,
we
will
become one and share everything. He will be moving in with me, I will be
spending our Christmases at his Utah chalet, and the list goes on.
I
carefully lay my gown over the back of the contemporary white sofa. I can hear
his voice. It comes from my office. I quietly tiptoe towards the room, eager to
surprise him. However, as I move closer, I realize I hear two voices instead of
one, and the nearer I get, those voices turn to groans and moans.
I step
into the doorway, and there he is, my fiancé, fucking my maid-of-honor—the
woman I’ve called my best friend for fifteen years. I’m in shock. I freeze in
place, and I can’t seem to find my words. It feels like I’ve been standing here
for hours, and he still has her bent over my desk, both too busy to notice my
presence.
