But Noah had no desire for the white picket fence, the house and the kids of Roxie's dreams. Could he come to terms with 'happily ever after' before Roxie left his life forever?

It's Ben's duty to protect her, and that's what he'll do. As the case progresses, objectivity becomes impossible. Because suddenly, Ben wants far more than just to keep her safe.
