Sustained (The Legal Briefs)

by Emma Chase

A knight in tarnished armour is still a knight.

When you're a defence attorney in Washington D.C., you see first-hand how hard life can be and that sometimes the only way to survive is to be harder. I have a reputation for being cold, callous, intimidating - and that suits me just fine. In fact, it's necessary when I'm breaking down a witness on the stand.

Complications don't work for me - I'm a "need-to-know" type of man. If you're my client, tell me the basic facts. If you're my date, stick to what will get you off. I'm not a therapist or Prince Charming - and I don't pretend to be.

Then Chelsea McQuaid and her six orphaned nieces and nephews came along and complicated the ever-loving hell out of my life. Now I'm going to Mommy & Me classes, One Direction concerts, the emergency room and am knee deep in a damn compost pit.

Chelsea's too sweet, too innocent and too gorgeous for her own good. She tries to be hard, but she's not. She needs someone to help her, defend her…and the kids.

And that - that I know how to do.

Loved this one. A lot. A lot, a lot. I loved Jake. Chelsea. The kids. Jake's friends. Just everything even when Jake was being a bonehead. This book is all that and a bag of chips.
