BLURB<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Join Jake & Chelsea, Stanton & Sofia, Brent & Kennedy as they navigate the hilarious and heartwarming hurdles of love, life and the law in this final addition to the Legal Briefs Series.<\/p>\n

There was a time when Jake Becker had it all together. He was controlled, driven, ruthless\u2014in and out of the courtroom.<\/p>\n

Then, six irresistible orphans and their heartbreakingly beautiful aunt crashed into his perfectly ordered life. They changed everything. They changed him. Now he\u2019s a husband, an upstanding member of society, a father figure\u2014a family man.
\nAnd he\u2019s pretty damn good at it.<\/p>\n

Sure, he has to referee sibling smackdowns, re-learn algebra, ensure his clients stay of jail, and keep his wife happy\u2014but it finally feels like he\u2019s got it together again….
\nSo, of course something has to screw it all up.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s huge. Life-changing. Kind of terrifying.<\/p>\n

And it will be the most amazing, perfect thing he\u2019ll ever do.<\/p>\n

EXCERPT<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Chelsea sits beside me on the couch, facing me, her legs tucked, her pretty feet curled under her. Yes\u2014Chelsea has pretty feet, okay? I never knew feet could be pretty\u2014until I saw hers.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo . . . that talk I mentioned before? We should probably have that now, while we can.\u201d<\/p>\n

I take a sip of my drink and nod. \u201cYeah\u2014I wasn\u2019t at all hoping you\u2019d forget about it or anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her face slides into a grin. \u201cFunny.\u201d<\/p>\n

I look back at her, straight-faced. \u201cI\u2019m a funny guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

When she doesn\u2019t say anything for a few moments, I ask, \u201cWhat\u2019s up?\u201d<\/p>\n

Because now I\u2019m actually getting concerned. My stomach tightens as I brace for whatever\u2019s worrying her\u2014and before I even know what I\u2019m up against, in my head I\u2019m already planning all the ways I\u2019ll take care of it. Because that\u2019s what I do\u2014and I\u2019m good at it.<\/p>\n

But what she tells me next blows my fucking mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m late.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two words\u2014ten thousand thoughts exploding in my head at once.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a big guy, six-five, 225 pounds of muscle. Guys like me, our voices don\u2019t squeak. But at this moment, mine comes damn close.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike . . . for an appointment?\u201d<\/p>\n

Chelsea inhales deeply, then breathes out, \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
