About the book
British lawyer Leo Ballantyne is arrogant, serious and sexy...in fact, seriously sexy! It doesn't help that he thinks Rose is a flake and a bad influence. They don't agree about anything, but that doesn't stop Rose from wanting Leo to make serious and sexy love to her. However, though Rose might feel that when it comes to her Leo has already acted as judge and jury, he's actually determined to have her in his bed. This looks like one case that'll have to be adjourned-- until some red-hot passion takes over!
