Dennis Murphyβs rambunctious seven-year-old twins swear heβs the best lawyer in Arlington, Connecticut. They donβt make his job easy, however. When the nanny he hires to watch the twins walks out on them one afternoon while Dennis is meeting with the opposing attorney concerning a libel case, Dennis is forced to bring his work home with him.
Gail Saunders is a lawyer in the public defenderβs office. When her former client, a Russian immigrant whoβs had a few scrapes with the law in the past, implores her to sue the cityβs newspaper for libel after his name appears in a front page article in connection with a series of thefts, she agrees to represent him, even if it means going up against Murphy and his prestigious, wealthy law firm, and even if it means she has to deal with his wild children once their nanny goes AWOL. Gail isnβt the sort to become all warm and fuzzy around childrenβespecially imps like Sean and Erin Murphy. Sheβs missing the maternal gene, and the romantic gene as well. Just because Murphy is smart and funny and sexy as hell doesnβt mean sheβs going to fall for him. She knows his seductive charms are merely tactics in his effort to win the libel suit.
Being the sister of one of the founders of the Daddy School, Gail believes Murphy could use a few lessons in how to be a better father. But sheβs got a few things to learn, too, and Dennis Murphy might just be the man to teach her.
