Fast-Paced Plot

Misunderstanding

Ruthless

"A brilliant, aloof lawyer, Phin Younger has focused solely on his career and on helping people less fortunate. Living his life without romance? He’s just fine with that. Phin knows all too well how relationships make life messy and complicated. Until the day Emily Lassiter begs Phin to help her teenage brother. Beautiful but as fierce as a lioness, Emily is like no other woman he’s met. Suddenly, all of Phin’s plans to avoid romantic entanglements are thrown out the window the moment he sets eyes on Emily. A former model, Emily now struggles to make ends meet for herself and for her teenage brother Josh. When Josh commits a crime that could put him behind bars for years, she turns to her brother’s court-appointed lawyer, Phin Younger, for help. But Emily never expected that her brother’s lawyer would be young and handsome. And she definitely never expected that Phin’s kiss would heat a need inside her that soon transforms into a conflagration. When these two can no longer deny their feelings for each other, an embittered rival of Phin’s threatens to destroy his career, dragging Emily into the scandal. Now these star-crossed lovers must overcome the fears that hold them captive—or face a future without the love that could set them both free."

Chapter 1
Sighing deeply, her feet aching from standing all afternoon and evening, Emily Lassiter glanced at the clock on the wall of The Dine in Five and wanted to sigh all over again. She still had two hours left on her shift.Normally her waitressing shifts went by quickly, but tonight there was a dearth of customers, which meant there was only so much work to do. Her boss, Lawrence, had already sent two other waitresses home. Emily was just glad that she got to work tonight—she needed the money rather desperately.“Your table wants more ketchup,” said Lawrence as he passed her in the hallway. Middle-aged and married with three kids, Lawrence had been like a father figure to Emily ever since she’d gotten this job two years ago. When he looked at her pale face, he added, “You okay, kid?”Emily forced herself to smile. “Fine. Ketchup, you said? I’ll go get that.”Lawrence looked like he didn’t believe her, but thankfully his phone rang, effectively distracting him. Emily went to the kitchen

Chapter 2
Phin Younger tapped his pen against the table as he waited for somebody from the DA’s office to show up for this court case. Phin’s client, a sixteen-year-old who’d been the driver of a getaway car for his friend who’d committed a robbery—slumped in his chair despite Phin’s admonition that he should sit up.Josh Lassiter was tall and bulky for his age and looked much older than sixteen. He had a sulky turn to his mouth that Phin had recognized the second he’d shaken the kid’s hand and introduced himself as his court-appointed lawyer. Josh had sneered and told him in no uncertain terms that he was wasting his time.Phin often felt like he was wasting his time—or rather, like he was fighting a losing battle with these cases. As a court-appointed lawyer who worked in the county’s public defender’s office, Phin got the cases of people who couldn’t afford a fancy lawyer. Phin was his client’s only chance at either getting out of prison or at least getting less time. But with more and more

Chapter 3
Emily tried to calm her racing heart as she waited to see Josh’s lawyer later that week. When Mr. Younger had told her that Josh could go to prison for close to six years, she’d wanted to throw up. He wasn’t even eighteen yet! And he hadn’t even been the one to rob that store. How could that be fair or just?“Ms. Lassiter?” Mr. Younger entered the tiny waiting room at the public defender’s office. “Come on back.”Emily followed him, once again admiring how young and handsome he was. When she’d first seen him in the courtroom, she’d almost demanded to know how old he was because he seemed too young to know what he was doing. She’d been afraid he wasn’t really a lawyer but instead some intern practicing on her poor brother. But, no, according to everything she’d found online, Phineas Younger, J.D., was as much a lawyer as she was a broke waitress and former model. He’d graduated at the top of his class from the University of Oregon, and he’d been working as a public defender since he’d

Chapter 4
Phin had lied about having another appointment because he’d needed to get Emily out of his office. She presented too much of a temptation to him, which bothered him immensely. He wasn’t the type of guy who was easily tempted. He kept to himself, and it had worked for twenty-eight years of his life.When he sat down heavily in his office chair, he stared at nothing for a long moment. Until a voice broke through his disordered thoughts.“Who’s the new client?” Katherine, Phin’s coworker and only real friend within the office, sat down on the edge of his desk with a smile. Happily married with kids, Katherine was somehow convinced that everyone else needed the same things in life to be happy.Phin, however, had so far resisted her best efforts to pair him up with one of her girlfriends.“Sixteen-year-old brother arrested for aiding and abetting a robbery,” he replied.Katherine whistled. “Damn. That’s serious. You gonna do a plea?”“Most likely. I’m not sure we have any other option

Chapter 5
Emily stared at the words in her GED textbook and her head started pounding within moments. Squinting, she forced herself to concentrate, sounding out the words, only to realize that it had taken her over fifteen minutes to go through one page.How was she going to get her GED at this rate when she could scarcely read the study materials?Humiliation made her cheeks scarlet. This was why she studied at home, and this was the one instance where she was glad Josh wasn’t here to see her struggle.Oh God, I’m so selfish to think that! My little brother is in a detention center and I’m happy he’s not here.She rubbed her eyes, like it would somehow make the letters behave. It wasn’t the longer words that tripped her up—sometimes it was the shorter ones, the ones that could be any number of words, like won or now. She hated homophones in particular: there, their, and they’re were her mortal enemies. And when she was especially tired or anxious, her dyslexia seemed to

Chapter 6
Early as always, Phin waited outside the detention center and decided to call his brother Ash to waste time. He told himself he wasn’t loitering outside so he could run into Emily, but it was a big, fat lie.“Phin! I thought you were dead. Thanks for finally calling me back,” said Ash with a laugh. “How’s it going?”Ash had called Phin three times in the last week to talk about getting Phin fitted for his tuxedo, but between three different clients and Katherine haunting his office with offhand comments about going on dates with various women she knew, Phin had completely forgotten to call his older brother back.“Not dead,” answered Phin dryly, “although I feel like I should be.”“Don’t die before my wedding, because then we’ll have an uneven number of bridesmaids to groomsmen and Violet will have a fit.”When Phin was younger, he would’ve taken Ash’s comment at face value. It was only as he’d gotten older that he realized that most people tended to say the opposite of what they

Chapter 7
For the first time in a while, Emily had been glad that the diner was busy. A football game had ended in victory, and it seemed like the entire city had emptied out of their homes into every bar available to celebrate. Now that it was edging toward midnight, people were drunk and hungry, which made Emily’s place of work the perfect place for rowdy football fans.Emily had already been pinched, asked out, and had her breasts stared at, but she was used to it. If she acted like a dimwit, usually the guys left her alone. If some guy got too handsy, Lawrence would take care of him.And if not Lawrence, then Jenson would. Burly and taciturn, Jenson had worked as the cook at The Dine in Five for probably longer than Emily had been alive. Covered in tattoos, Emily had heard he’d been in jail for years, but she still didn’t know why he’d been put behind bars.“I need onions on this one,” she said, pointing to the burger under the warmer.Jenson grunted, lifting up the bun and slapping some

Chapter 8
Phin stared at Emily before he realized that her question made sense, objectively, and that she seemed tipsy. How much had she had to drink?She clapped a hand over her mouth. “Oh God, I’m sorry. That was so rude.”“It’s a valid question, all things considered,” he said, trying not to smile.He wasn’t exactly a bar hopper, but sometimes when he couldn’t sleep, he’d come to Jackson’s and have a drink, maybe play some darts. He liked to watch the people coming and going, watch the men play pool while their girlfriends tried to distract them. Phin could sit at a booth in the corner, no one caring how long he sat there as long as he bought a few beers. The noise and the movement kept his mind from obsessing about whatever it wanted to obsess about that day: his clients, his family. His own loneliness.“I didn’t think you knew what a bar was,” said Emily. She blinked up at him. “Do you even drink?”Yes, she’s definitely tipsy, thought Phin. “Yes, I drink.” He gestured to the barst

Chapter 9
That weekend, Emily showed up at Landon’s studio and posed for the nude photos. They were all tasteful, as Landon had promised, but Emily couldn’t help feeling like she’d sold herself out.She posed behind a sheet that just barely covered her breasts. She couldn’t help but think of the modeling jobs she used to get.She’d gotten lucky in the beginning, snagging the attention of a famous photographer who was able to get her into major magazines for a variety of fashion spreads. Emily remembered how shocked she’d been when she’d seen the luxurious couture garments hanging on the racks, wondering if she’d be thrown out the door if anyone realized who she was.Emily had loved modeling, but that world had almost destroyed her. She’d gotten dangerously thin, to the point that she’d gotten pneumonia one winter. After that scare, she’d had to cut all ties with the industry, no matter how well it paid. It wasn’t worth killing herself.“Good, good,” said Landon as he clicked his camera. “Loo
