Romance Contemporary

Cynical divorce attorney Lori Cumberland lives by one motto: Love is grand, but divorce is a hundred grand. With one failed marriage under her own personal belt, Lori had fallen hard and earlyโ€”and it isnโ€™t something she plans on repeating. Sheโ€™s content focusing on the temporary marriages of her rich and famous clients. When she joins some of her recent divorcรฉes on a celebratory cruise, her only vow is fun, sun, and new friends. But Lori finds herself tempted by a jury of one.

For Reed Barlow, falling into the world of private investigation was easy. He knows the law and knows how to avoid breaking itโ€”all while doing his job. His rule to live by? No emotion, no involvementโ€ฆuntil Lori. His charming smile and cocky attitude distracts Lori and lowers her guard, which is exactly what Reed desires.

But what appears as a one-time-only flirtation may be a plot orchestrated by Reed. As heโ€™s taking his investigation to a dangerous level, itโ€™s Lori who could end up in jeopardy. Reed has only one shot for Lori to grant him a second chance. But if he comes clean with her, he blows his cover. And that just might cost him the opportunity for an alliance of familyโ€ฆand of love.
