Attorney Brett Merlin-alias the Magician-was certain he'd squashed one senior citizen's Christmas crusade against his Scrooge of a client. Until he met opposing counsel, the fiery, flame-haired Octavia Osborne...and his open-and-shut civil suit escalated to murder in the first degree.
Suddenly, the magician of law found himself up against a mistress of legal abracadabra, who pulled more countersuits out of her attorney's brief than Santa did presents out of his sleigh.
What Brett saw as a matter of law, Octavia saw as a matter of heart. Either way, he was out to set some surprising new precedents-both legal and personal.
