Desc: Emma Chase New York Times bestselling author of the Tangled Series returns with the first installment of the Legal Briefs Series. As a DC defense attorney Stanton Shaw keeps his head cool his questions sharp and his arguments irrefutable. They don’t call him the Jury Charmer for nothing – with his southern drawl disarming smile and captivating green eyes – he’s a hard man to say no to. Men want to be him and women want to be thoroughly cross examined by him. Stanton’s a man with a plan. And for a while life was going according to that plan. Until the day he receives an invitation to the wedding of his high school sweetheart and 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 a city raised no-nonsense litigator who plans to become the most revered criminal defense attorney in the country. She doesn’t have time for relationships or distractions. But when Stanton her "friend with mind-blowing benefits" begs for help she finds herself out of her element out of her depth and obviously out of her mind. Because she agrees to go with him – to The-Middle-Of-Nowhere Mississippi – to do all she can to help Stanton win back the woman he loves. Her head tells her she's crazy...and her heart says something else entirely. *** What happens when you mix a one stop-light town two professional arguers a homecoming queen four big brothers some Jimmy Dean sausage and a gun-toting Nana? The Bourbon flows passions rise and even the best laid plans get overruled by the desires of the heart.
