Emma Chase, <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of the Tangled series, returns with the second installment of the Legal Briefs series!<br><br><i>A knight in tarnished armor is still a knight.</i><br><br>When you’re a defense attorney in Washington, DC, you see firsthand how hard life can be, and that sometimes the only way to survive is to be harder. I, Jake Becker, have a reputation for being cold, callous, and intimidating—and that suits me just fine. In fact, it’s necessary when I’m breaking down a witness on the stand.<br><br>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.<br><br>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 &amp; Me classes, One Direction concerts, the emergency room, and am knee deep in a damn compost pit.<br><br>Chelsea’s too sweet, too innocent, and too gorgeous for her own good. She tries to be tough, but she’s not. She needs someone to help her, and defend her…and the kids.<br><br>And that—that, I know how to do.
