LOSING ISN'T AN OPTION WHEN EVERYTHING YOU LOVE IS AT STAKE

In Kimberly Van Meter's sweet contemporary romance, A CAUSE FOR JUSTICE, there's a whole lot going on in the small town of Serenity Falls but nothing is more important than family.

Justice Montgomery believes in fighting for what she believes in - even if no one else supports her cause. So what if she's been accused of being more of an eco-terrorist than an eco-warrior - if her father could handle the heat, so could she. Besides, it's up to her to pick up where her father left off and it's a responsibility she shoulders with honor, haters be damned.
So when she faces off against land developer Mason Broderick, determined to stop a building project that will harm an indigenous owl, she doesn't care that she's standing relatively alone. But Justice isn't prepared for the wildly inappropriate attraction to the brusque developer and finds herself walking a slippery slope between fighting for what's right and fighting her heart.
Mason Broderick doesn't let anything get in his way of success. He's brought his grandfather's company back from the brink of bankruptcy through sheer ruthless determination and nothing - not even a stubborn, slip of a pretty woman - is going to stop him. Yeah, so he's attracted to her in the most inappropriate way and when she's not driving him crazy, she's driving him C-R-A-Z-Y but nothing is going to stop this project, not even his own growing feelings for the pint-sized eco-menace. Except, when Mason drags a terrible secret out of Justice's closet, he inadvertently sets in motion a wheel that might just crush the very thing that he never knew he wanted.
When the two most stubborn, hard-headed people fall in love with one another...there's bound to be trouble but if they can see past their differences to the one thing they can't deny...it might just be the best thing they have ever known.

The following full-length novel of approximately 80,000 is an original work of fiction. (Contemporary romance, small town, HEA, family secrets, humor)

EXCERPT:

"Comfortable?"
At the sound of his voice, a head snapped up and Mason found himself looking down into the most vibrant blue eyes he'd ever seen. Coupled with skin that looked as soft as velvet with a fair dusting of freckles dancing across the bridge, Mason realized with a start that he was dealing with a very petite woman with a wild, tousled, short crop of honey-hued hair. The fact that he'd been expecting a man threw him off his game for a moment until the woman who was mucking up his operation, blinked owlishly at the bright sunlight before peering with anticipation around his left shoulder.
"Sorry, were you expecting more news crews?" Mason queried in a hard tone, regaining his footing in the situation. "I hope you're not too disappointed. I thought about bringing the sheriff with me but I wanted to see with my own eyes what kind of crazy person would pull a stunt like this."
"Ahh, Broderick, I assume?"
"That's right," he said, bracketing his hips with his hands. "And you must be this infamous Montgomery I've heard so much about."
"Only my friends call me Montgomery...and you are not my friend," she said. "I am the president of Stop Environmentally Irresponsible Development, Justice Montgomery. You may address as me as Miss Montgomery."
Miss. Not that he was surprised. He couldn't imagine who would want to marry a crazy loon who would actually tie herself to a tree, no matter how easy on the eyes she was. Why were the pretty ones always nuts? "Forgive me, but it's hard to take you seriously. Do you know how ridiculous you look? Don't have you better things to do than whatever it is you think you're doing here?"
