I read this book in one evening. It was that good! Waverly Shaw gets disbarred and is on the brink of financial ruin and his golf-digging wife will leave him if she can't maintain her lifestyle. And his father-in-law likes to lord it over him that he's not bringing in enough money. Waverly lucks upon a new, lucrative career in life insurance, which makes his wife very happy at first, but which puts his entire family in danger.
Angela Evans is a U.S. Attorney begins investigating Waverly Shaw, thinking that he, and the company he represents, might be killing their clients for money. She's also the fiancée of an extremely controlling judge and is having second thoughts about their upcoming marriage. She meets a sexy and street-savvy guy, Dre, who seems to treat her much better than her fiancée ever did. When Angela and Dre end up in a confrontation with the judge, it changes their lives forever, as well as the life of the judge.
Angela and Waverly, previously on opposite sides of the table, must now band together to clear both of their names, and they both need help each other and from Dre, to help se the record straight.
This book was suspenseful from beginning to end, and each character was fully developed. Their were twists and turns all way to the end of the book.

Waverly Sloan has just been disbarred and doesn't know what he is going to do. His wife expects a high standard of living, and he doesn't want to disappoint her with the fact that he can no longer practice law. Waverly sets up an appointment with someone he met at a club who claims he can set Waverly up in a business that can solve all of his money problems.
All he has to do is get the terminally ill to sell him their life insurance policies for a fraction of the policy. In return, they get money up front, Waverly gets ten percent, and when they die, the "investor" is listed as the beneficiary. It seems like a sweet deal to Waverly. It will solve his money problems and he can help the hopeless.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Angela Evans is leading a sting operation against the Tustin Group, a group of viatical's who they believe are pressuring elderly people to sell their insurance policies. But it comes to light that another group in their own city may be operating under the same persona, but in a different light. So far there are four people whose autopsies claim they died from natural causes of cancer or accidental, but it seems to coincidental to Angela and her team that they died so quickly after selling their policies. They immediately undergo an investigation.
Lawrence Erickson, a high profiled lawyer who is valiantly trying to become the next U.S. Attorney General has his own problems. His wife, who is dying of cancer, is holding a secret above his head. If that secret is revealed, it will ruin him. He wants her to die sooner than later so that he can save his position of power and hopefully get a seat at the White House. He convinces her to sell her policy to Waverly for an experimental surgery that could save her life. But once she decides not to have the surgery, Lawrence is at his wit's end. But then his wife ends up dead, and he doesn't know who did it, but is grateful. But once the autopsy comes to light that she was murdered, he is the prime suspect.
Angela has her own problems. The judge she is engaged to has turned violent, but she doesn't want to turn him in and ruin his career. She tries to call off the wedding, especially after she meets Dre. He really lights her fire. But when it's disclosed he is a drug dealer, even her career is on the rocks. When one of their own, who went undercover in the sting, winds up dead, the stakes are even higher.
If you enjoy thrilling mysteries with believable characters, then BUYING TIME is for you! The plot is a page-turner and the twists and turns will keep you up far into the night. Ms. Young has meshed together a stunning weave of romance with an intricate and suspenseful whodunit with the backdrop of the legal system. Highly recommend!!
