Rachel knows the law better than most judges, and the clients she defends pay her accordingly. Especially boneheaded clients, whom she charges a stupidity fee.
But as New Year’s Eve approaches, someone from her past needs her help. A sexy someone. Someone she doesn’t want to represent.
Someone who might just cause more trouble that Rachel imagines.
