Just as Ben is finally getting ready to propose to Julie he is approached about defending a woman on a murder charge. One problem, the woman once threatened to kill Ben as well. What could possibly go wrong?

Finally, it's been four years and Ben Matlock has an interesting proposal for the beautiful assistant D.A. How will it work out?

He didn't mean to fall for her; it happened slowly, over a long time of being friends, and then all at once. Ben Matlock realized he needed her in his life just as his world fell in around him. He wished now he'd realized it sooner.

Ben couldn't BELIEVE what he was hearing.
