Recusal

A Tampa Bay crime romance.

Sera Lang has been awake since four in a Seminole Heights duplex that lists toward the street, and by breakfast she has a homicide file she is not allowed to keep. Her cousin’s name is in it. So is Cade Mercer, the prosecutor whose face juries like and whose name she has not said out loud in sixteen years. Recuse and the city writes the ending without her. Stay and the heat, the bakery, and the charging memo become the same problem, and wanting him is no longer private. It is evidence.
