Illegally Yours: Laws of Attraction, Book 2

Meader returns to Chicago law firm Wright, Lincoln, and Henderson in the steamy, tender second Laws of Attraction contemporary romance (after Down with Love). Sparks, and alcohol, fly when attorney Lucas Wright meets whiskey sommelier Trinity Jones; she thinks he’s hitting on her (not without reason) and dumps a beer on his head. Despite this rocky first encounter, their mutual attraction is palpable. However, their relationship is stymied before it can even start when Lucas reveals he’s representing Trinity’s horrible brother-in law, Brian Carson, in his divorce from Trinity’s sister. As circumstances bring Lucas and Trinity together again at a pub quiz and a soccer game, their feelings for each other deepen. However, Brian isn’t the only obstacle to their happiness, as other familial obligations create a tug-of-war for their attentions. Lengthy sex scenes, a hint of comedy, and a plot rich with character growth ensure Meader’s fans and newcomers will find something to love. Agent: Nicole Resciniti, Seymour Agency. (Jan.)
