At glitzy South Lake Tahoe, couples break up every day, but none quite so rich and successful as Lindy and Mike Markov. It’s the old story: Mike’s met a younger woman and wants out of a twenty year relationship. The problem? A little matter of the $200 million business they’ve built together. Mike claims he doesn’t owe Lindy a dime. It’s a case that could make a fortune for a struggling young lawyer like Nina Reilly, or could drive someone to commit a shocking murder for love, murder…or the right verdict…

“O’Shaughnessy offers up a gripping courtroom drama, throws in pithy ethical and moral dilemmas and some surprising plot twists, and adds plenty of heart-stopping action, all packed into a riveting story that will hold readers – especially fans of Grisham and Turow – spellbound.” – Booklist 

“‘Breach of Promise’ offers the fun of following a high-stakes civil case that reveals a kind of courtroom intrigue we haven’t seen since O. J. Simpson, including ‘shadow juries,’ dream-team consultants, underlying biases and sidebar conferences to beat the band…the dialogue is clean and smart…and the surprise twists wonderfully effective.”  – San Francisco Chronicle
