Legal Affairs

What happens when strangers marry only to discover their pasts are connected in ways that neither could have predicted?Widow Kate Jensen wants children of her own, but she's vowed to never fall in love and be vulnerable to loss again. Her solution? An arranged marriage to Jack Cardwell, a computer genius with reasons of his own for avoiding love. They both want kids, but the marriage is supposed to be based solely on friendship…and absolutely nothing more.But when they meet, Jack is the nerdy jock in the funny T-shirts Kate's been ogling from a distance, and Kate is the stranger who's been starring in all of Jack's steamiest fantasies. When sparks fly, sexy and hilarious antics ensue. Unfortunately, the honeymoon doesn't last. Jack failed to mention the spies trying to steal his computer program, as well as the federal agents that have invaded his life like malware. If that's not bad enough, Kate has holes in her past she can't explain, even to herself. Their secrets ultimately collide to reveal surprising connections, ones that change everything they thought they knew about themselves and their pasts. They'll have to face their deepest fears if there's any chance for love to save the day."A humorous and touching love story with two extremely likeable characters." --Alison Packard, author of the Feeling the Heat series.

One year ago, I graduated from law school and embarked on a career as a purveyor of high priced legal shenanigans. Six months ago, my boyfriend dumped me when I thought he might be proposing. Two weeks ago, I got drunk and joined a secret sex club. Two days ago, I had a torrid one-night stand with a stranger. Today? My one-night stand is no longer a stranger. Today, he's my new boss. Matt Connover is all kinds of forbidden temptation wrapped up in a deliciously wicked package, and he's made it clear... he's only interested in sex. My name is McKayla Dawson, and I work at the powerhouse firm of Connover & Crown, LLP, where the law has never felt so hot. But between you and me, I'm afraid my heart won't survive these Legal Affairs.

He broke her heart and made her an object of scorn and derision in the national media…and now, to save her son, she might have to let him do it all over again.Jade Lin dreamed of curing cancer. While she pursued a cure, America's tabloid sweetheart, Kyle Galbraith, pursued her. When she finally gave him her heart, he publicly humiliated her by getting engaged to the woman his fans had been rooting for all along. Unfairly shamed as the sore loser in the alleged love triangle, Jade was vilified from coast to coast. She lost everything-her good name, her reputation, and worst of all, her cancer research. She had no choice but to disappear and remake herself into someone no one would ever recognize again. Ten years later, she's attorney Verity James, and she fiercely protects her secrets, including the son Kyle knows nothing about. She wants to make partner at the largest law firm in Nevada-a powerful position from which she can better protect her son should the paparazzi ever find them. All she has to do is impress the firm's newest client and get his company on retainer.That client is Kyle, now Vice President of GEM, his family's pharmaceutical company. He's in Las Vegas to deal with a lawsuit filed against GEM's miracle cancer-curing drug. He's surprised to find Jade, the one woman he always regretted losing.Their highly reactive chemistry still flashes hot, but the past isn't easily forgiven. When they uncover alarming evidence of the drug's horrific side-effect-one that could fundamentally change the world-everything they thought they knew about their past is called into question. When their son is threatened, can they sort through all the lies and deceit before it's too late?

My name is Matt Connover. I am a Litigation God. Other lawyers quake before me. Women crawl on their knees just to spend the night in my bed and when I'm finished with them, I walk away without a backward glance. I am well satisfied with my life and there isn't a damn thing I'd change about it. That is, until McKayla Dawson came along. She was meant to be for one night only. But she got under my skin, and now I want her back underneath my body. It's torture working with her in my law firm... day in and day out. But I have to think maybe the Fates have intervened to throw us together because she is unlike anyone I've ever known, and thus I need to pay careful attention to these Legal Affairs.

Leary Michaels has no problem using her feminine charms to daze her legal adversaries so they don't see her coming in for the kill. On her most personal case yet, she finds herself battling an attorney who's just as skilled, seductive and shamelessly determined to beat her at her own game. As a partner at Knight & Payne, I know what it takes to succeed-hard work, long hours and occasionally turning up my female powers of persuasion. I'm not afraid to show a little skin if it's going to get me what I want and I've been known to ignore the ethics rules a time or two. The opponent on my current case is nothing but a sleazy corporate lawyer willing to sell his soul to the devil to help his rich clients get richer by sticking it to innocent people like my client. No matter how devastatingly handsome Reeve Holloway is, I have zero qualms messing with his head… both above and below his belt. I've deviously planned out our first meeting and one excruciatingly long elevator ride at the courthouse leaves me with my stockings down, Reeve begging for more and the two of us on a decidedly unethical path to the bedroom. As the case and our dalliance go on, I find that my initial impression of Reeve couldn't be further from reality. What starts as a couple of workaholics blowing off steam turns into something deeper than we ever wanted. But pillow talk can be dangerous when you're walking a moral line and Reeve's law firm has made it clear they'll stop at nothing to win. As the gavel comes down on our case, I can't help but feel as if I'm losing everything I've worked so hard to attain. As our hearts become more entwined, can we find a way to battle in the courtroom or will the friction cause our love to burn to ashes? NOTE: Friction: Reeve and Leary's Story was originally released as Friction by Montlake in 2015. This tale of two attorneys battling it out in the courtroom received a fresh polish but the story remains the same-smart, sassy and smoking hot.

From New York Times Bestselling author, Sawyer Bennett, comes a SEXY new standalone romance...When you're a rock god, fame and fortune are your two best friends, but they can be fickle bed mates. It seems everyone wants a piece of me. I'm being sued, pressured to sign contracts, and fending off rabid women who want to steal my virtue. Just kidding on that one. We all know I don't have much virtue left. That's why I need Emma Peterson. The sharp-as-a-tack and sexy-as-sin lawyer saved my ass before and I know she can do it again. The only problem is that sweet, prim and totally straight-laced Emma doesn't want anything to do with me. Not professionally, and certainly not personally. But c'mon. Everyone wants me, and even though it would take a crow bar of epic proportions to get her to spread those sexy legs for me, all I want is her mind. I swear. Her beautiful, brilliant mind to make sense of my crazy world. Good thing I have something up my sleeve to get her to say "yes". Some might call it blackmail. I call it something else. Looks like Emma Peterson just became my biggest defender. If only I can resist wanting to screw my attorney six ways to Sunday.*Sexy Lies and Rock & Roll is a hot, romantic comedy stand alone.

I never thought a pecker would get me in so much trouble. I mean, sure... if you're talking about a certain anatomical feature of mine that the ladies just love. Given my bachelor status and appreciation for all things curvy and feminine, I could absolutely see that. But a different pecker is making my life much harder than it needs to be. My name is Ford Daniels, partner at the law firm of Knight & Payne, and my latest case has me wading through the finer points of peckers woodpeckers that is. Specifically, the red-cockaded woodpecker. I swear, I can't make this stuff up but that's what the sexy-as-hell blonde chained to a tree told me this morning. Her name is Viveka Jones and she is so much more than a pretty face. She's got wit, charm, and razor-sharp smarts. Turns out my client is looking to bulldoze the red-cockaded woodpecker's natural habitat in favor of a multimillion-dollar subdivision and the sexy attorney with legs for days (and days), just happens to be counsel for an animal rights group looking to put a halt to construction. My client's pissed, but all I can think about is getting Viveka across the table from me. And then on the table underneath me. Perhaps up against the wall. And then Well, let's just say when it's all said and done, I'm hoping the red-cockaded woodpecker isn't the only pecker that gets some attention from Miss Viveka Jones.
