After Cecilia's husband dies, she's forced to become Ferris's caregiver, something she does not immediately warm to. But when his life is threatened by an intruder, she shoots the intruder to save the golden retriever. Police Chief Holden Owens thinks Cecilia acted lawfully, but few agree. The prosecutor feels that Cecilia has committed murder, not self defense. In the eyes of the law, one can use lethal force to protect themselves and others, but not property. Pets are considered property. Holden loses his fight with the prosecutor, and is now in a new fight--his undeniable attraction to Cecilia. Celebrity defense attorney Wyatt Sewell identifies a sympathetic defendant, a case he can win, and a way to garner more acclaim. When he learns of Cecilia's motive, to save Ferris, he sees a blockbuster case that can set legal precedent. He forces the jurors to ask themselves-- Is your pet property or family?Will saving Ferris's life cost Cecilia her freedom? And a second chance at love?
