Alyssa Giordano, a first generation American, never thought being a
woman in this day and age would be a disadvantage... until she met her
first boss. Her grandmothers, one Irish, the other Italian, fought so
hard to be seen by other women as their husbands’ equals. But Alyssa’s
grandfathers, and her father, knew who really ran things.
Barely a year
into her career, the young lawyer couldn’t believe that Duncan Kennedy
would accuse her of a double cross and sack her after she’d rebuffed
his advances. Nor could she believe that his partner, Lydia Price,
refused to support her. As she leaves behind her first job in the only
career which she’d ever wanted, Alyssa, pride wounded, loses faith in
the one thing she’d grown up believing in: justice.
After struggling to
get her career (and her life) back in order, Giordano finally hits the
big time and finds that roles are reversed. Kennedy is labeled a
swindler and a leading journalist, a woman no less, holds his fate in
her hands. But as he vanishes in a cloud of lies and creditors before
he can be brought to justice, Giordano’s faith in it, justice,
freefalls again.
Later uncovering reports of Kennedy’s untimely death,
Alyssa’s faith in justice returns and she begins to believe she is rid
of the cruel menace who almost destroyed her. Until the day he walks
back into her life to seemingly ask for her help in restoring his
reputation... and tries to take her life...
