THE FACE OF EVIL
Bill Oxford is a fixer, as cynical as they come. When the PR firm he works for sends him to Newport Beach to ruin a local attorney's reputation, he knows he's taking it strictly on an "or else" basis. Bill has been involved in some nasty jobs and his boss has enough on him to send him to San Quentin if he doesn't come through for them.
The first person he meets in town is Nile Lisbon, and the attraction is immediate and mutual. Nile is the local assistant D. A. with close ties to the lawyer Bill's supposed to ruin. He falls for her hard and decides to ditch his mission. Unfortunately, his bosses have too much riding on this one, and Bill's decision to go straight might be his last.
