Miami in June: it's raining, it's pouring, but the life of criminal defense attorney Mary Magruder Katz is anything but boring - especially when she gets caught up in a whirlwind of three different cases. Judge Liz Maxwell's job, sanity, and reputation are at stake and she needs Mary to ferret out wrongdoing in Miami's courts. Solving this case won't just mean going out on a limb; it will mean risking life and limb. Luis Corona, a family friend of Mary's boyfriend, Carlos, needs help with a legal matter that, to Mary's horror, turns out to be a terrorism charge. This case will leave some catastrophic damage and unwelcome notoriety in its wake. Just when Mary thought things couldn't get worse, Carlos gets into his own nasty legal quandary -one that could cost him everything. Three cases. One Mary. One torrential downpour of turmoil. Can she weather the storm? Ride out the cold front that settles over her once-hot romance? Salvage what remains of her - and her clients' reputations? For Mary, this month's forecast calls for trouble.

Mary is back in Miami and back in the arms of Carlos, the hot Latin boyfriend she almost jettisoned. Now she must rebuild her lagging law practice. The first client to walk in the door is Jay Lincoln, the first Black quarterback at the University of Miami. He is facing a charge of raping an underage high school girl. Mary's loyal paralegal, Catherine, is involved in her own troubles. Her deadbeat abusive ex-spouse surfaces and a few days later turns up dead at her front door. Naturally, one of Carlos's many cousins is arrested for the murder. Meanwhile, Carlos's father is facing a federal grand jury investigating the bank where he's a vice-president. As if that isn't enough, Mary's mother is suffering from a midlife crisis of her own. Rape, bank fraud, and murder. it's enough to make any lawyer neurotic. Mary's days in court are making her totally neurotic as a momentous thanksgiving approaches followed by a heart stopping wedding.
