Dennis Murphy’s rambunctious seven-year-old twins swear
he’s the best lawyer in Arlington, Connecticut. They don’t
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 defender’s office.
When her former client, a Russian immigrant who’s had a few
scrapes with the law in the past, implores her to sue the
city’s 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 isn’t the sort to become
all warm and fuzzy around children—especially imps like
Sean and Erin Murphy. She’s missing the maternal gene, and
the romantic gene as well. Just because Murphy is smart and
funny and sexy as hell doesn’t mean she’s 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 she’s got a few things to learn,
too, and Dennis Murphy might just be the man to teach her.
