Once again, award-winning author Pamela
Samuels Young delivers another captivating legal thriller full of unexpected
twists and jaw-dropping moments you never see coming. The beautiful Bliss
Fenton won’t be winning any awards for Mother of the Year. Truth is, motherhood
isn’t nearly as important to Bliss as the cottage industry she’s created:
extorting wealthy men for the hefty child support she can collect.
But Bliss’ greed goes too far when she
takes on Fletcher McClain. The handsome music industry mogul refuses to accept
her conniving conduct lying down. He retains high-profile attorney Vernetta
Henderson to sue Bliss for fraud.
Enter Bliss’ unscrupulous attorney,
Girlie Cortez, who has a personal score to settle with Vernetta. As the two
lawyers once again go head-to-head, their legal battle quickly escalates from
merely contentious to downright deadly.

Young isn’t practicing law, you can usually find her penning her next legal
thriller. Described by one reviewer as “John Grisham with a sister’s twist,”
Pamela is an award-winning author of six legal thrillers.
The prolific writer has always abided by
the philosophy that you create the change you want to see. Fed up with never
seeing women or people of color depicted as savvy, hotshot attorneys in the
legal thrillers she read, Pamela decided to create her own characters. Despite
the demands of a busy legal career, the Compton, California native accomplished
her ambitious goal by ising at 4 a.m. to write before work, dedicating her
weekends to writing and even spending her vacation time glued to her laptop for
ten or more hours a day. In the process, she discovered her passion.

Firm Pursuit (2007), was honored by Romantic Times magazine as a finalist for
Best African-American Novel of 2007. Murder on the Down Low (2008), Pamela’s
third release, was an “Editor’s Pick” by Black Expressions magazine and a
finalist for the 2009 African-American Literary Awards in the fiction category.
The Black Caucus of the American Library Association honored Pamela’s next
novel, Buying Time (2009), with its 2010 Fiction Award, calling the book “a
captivating, suspenseful thriller.” Attorney-Client Privilege (2012) was a
finalist for USA Book News’ Best Books of 2014 award in the multi-cultural
fiction category. Her seventh legal thriller, Lawful Deception, goes on sale in
October 2015.

short stories Unlawful Greed, featured in the anthology The Funeral (2013),
Easy Money, featured in the anthology Scoundrels: Tales of Greed, Murder and
Financial Crimes (2012) and The Setup, featured in the Sisters in Crime
anthology, LAndmarked for Murder (2006). She also has an essay in the
anthology, A Letter for My Mother (2013).

career while working as Managing Counsel for Labor and Employment Law for
Toyota in Southern California, specializing in employment law and social media
law. Prior to that, she served as Employment Law Counsel for Raytheon Company
and spent several years as an associate with the law firm of O’Melveny &
