Caroline Bragg and Brandon Lancaster are taking their relationship to the next level, and she has a new dream job as legal counsel for Praecursoria, a research lab that is making waves with its cutting-edge genetic therapies. The company's leukemia treatments even promise to save desperately sick kids-- like eleven-year-old Bethany, a critically ill foster child at Brandon's foster home. When her boss wants to enroll Bethany in experimental trials prematurely, Caroline objects, putting her at odds with her colleagues. Meanwhile Brandon is on the brink of losing the group home he's worked so hard to build as laws governing foster homes shift. When Caroline learns he is a Praecursoria investor, it becomes legally impossible to confide in him. -- adapted from back cover
