Legal Briefs

Emma Chase

Stanton Shaw is a charming DC defense attorney with a reputation for winning cases and turning heads—until an invitation to his high school sweetheart's wedding threatens to derail his carefully laid plans. When Jenny announces she's marrying someone else, Stanton enlists the help of Sofia Santos, a sharp-tongued litigator and his occasional lover, to accompany him back to his small Mississippi hometown and help him reclaim the woman he never stopped loving. What unfolds is a collision of big-city ambition and small-town charm, as Sofia finds herself caught between her no-nonsense career goals and unexpected feelings for the man who's supposed to be just a friend with benefits. With a cast of colorful characters—including Stanton's four protective brothers and a gun-toting grandmother—this witty, passionate romance proves that sometimes the best arguments are won by the heart, not the courtroom. Emma Chase's signature blend of humor, heat, and heart makes this the perfect start to the Legal Briefs Series.
