The Exception

Contemporary romance

Toronto at dusk seen from a warm interior, with marked papers resting by the window.

Anna came home to build a legal career; she did not expect her father's closest friend to be the first man to open the right door—and the most dangerous complication on the other side.

Anna has returned to Toronto for the final year of law school after spending most of her adolescence in England. She needs experience, money, and a way into the career she intends to build on her own merits. Her father has one infuriatingly sensible suggestion: ask Vincent, his oldest friend, whether his firm needs a student. Vincent is a senior partner, a law professor, and the man whose competence helped shape her idea of what power could look like. He is also suddenly, inconveniently aware that Fred's daughter is no longer a child. A professional opportunity draws Anna into a sensitive corporate matter where missing facts, divided loyalties, and hundreds of jobs are at stake. Working beside Vincent may open the career door she came looking for. What either of them does about everything else is far less simple.
