ABOUT THE BOOK
The verdict’s in. He’s guilty of falling for opposing counsel.
Nick Adams doesn’t have time for the existential crisis he’s having.
But when I wind up being charged with contempt of court and discover her at the shelter where I’m serving community service, she brings out a side of me I’ve never seen. Could this be the true Nick?
B.J. McCaffrey doesn’t form attachments with anyone. And playboy counselor Nick Adams would be the last person on the list if I did. But, then again, this isn’t exactly the Nick Adams that people have made him out to be.
LET'S READ AN EXCERPT
(Warning: Language!!! Nick's a bad boy.)
I have it all, and it means absolutely nothing to me.
I can still feel the punch to the gut that was Zack’s returning to claim Zoe, just as I was about to seal the deal and make her mine. I can still smell the exact fragrance of the air when I stepped out onto the balcony, still hear my voice as I told her, “I can be whoever you want me to be, Zoe.”
What the hell was I thinking? I wasted eight years of my life on one woman.
A woman not unlike B.J. McCaffrey, who was sitting across from me now, acting as opposing counsel. I looked at her. As drop-dead gorgeous as she was, she was just another woman.
“Mr. Adams? Are we boring you?”
I could hear him somewhere on the edges of my thought, but it didn’t matter to me. Change myself. For a woman. Where was my pride? Where is my pride?
I turned my head slowly to face the judge. He was a prick.
“Does the accused need another lawyer? Or are you going to continue to sit there and let him destroy himself on the stand?”
I looked at my client. He didn’t even wear a tie. “Yeah. I think I am.”
At first, I couldn’t believe the words came out of my mouth. But they felt good. Felt right, somehow. “I’m sick of working my ass off on cases and having my clients ignore everything I tell them about their demeanor on the stand.”
Judge Walters looked at my rival, B.J. McCaffrey. She shrugged. “Mr. Adams. Your job is to defend this man. Are you incapable of doing that?”
“I don’t know.”
Again, the judge and my opponent exchanged a look.
Pull it together, Nick. Find that damn pride of yours. “Wait.” My eyes ricochetted around the desk in front of me and finally fell on the yellow legal pad with my scribbled notes for the case. “I apologize, Your Honor. It’s been a rough—”
Eight years? Two months? Life?
“—day. My apologies to the court.”
“I repeat, your job is to defend this man. Are you capable of doing that?”
Damn. I just apologized. Can’t you let it go?
Of course, the reason for it was undoubtedly her. The woman I loved—or thought I loved—was on her honeymoon with my best friend. And I was beginning to see how crazy it had been for me to wait around eight years for her.
As a result, I was approaching thirty and still didn’t know who I was. I straightened my back. This is what Zoe had brought me to.
“Yes, Your Honor. It won’t happen again.”
“It better not, Mr. Adams, or you won’t see the inside of my courtroom again.”
Yeah, yeah. You’re in charge, big boy. We all get it.
“Now I’m going to do you a solid, Mr. Adams. It’s late. I’m—”
He likes to use slang. He thinks it makes him look cool. I managed to roll my eyes inwardly this time.
“—going to adjourn this court until one. I suggest you take the time to pull yourself together.” He looked at my client. The rail-thin, gray-haired, unshaven man sat with his mouth hanging open like a guppy. “You can get down now.”
The man nodded and Walters pounded his gavel. He glared at me. “The court is adjourned.”
I gathered my things, cursing quietly.
