Overruled

Emma Chase begins the new Legal Briefs series—where high-powered attorneys compete for the upper hand in the courtroom... and the bedroom.

With his southern drawl, disarming smile, and captivating green eyes, Washington, D.C., defense attorney Stanton Shaw is a hard man to turn down. Men want to be him, and women want to be thoroughly cross-examined by him. Stanton is a man with a plan—he keeps his questions sharp and his head cool. Until he receives a wedding invitation from Jenny, his high school sweetheart and the mother of his beloved ten-year-old daughter. Jenny is getting married—to someone who isn't him. That's definitely not part of the plan.

Sofia Santos is an ambitious, no-nonsense litigator who doesn't have time for relationships. But when Stanton, her "friend with mind-blowing benefits," begs for her help, she finds herself out of her element in a one-stoplight Mississippi town in order to help Stanton win back the woman he loves.

But when two professional arguers with "no strings attached" passion hit the sultry southern heat, the bourbon flows, the stakes rise... and even the best-laid agreements get overruled.
