An attorney. A billionaire. A secret relationship. And a lie that brings an ugly legal battle, and a promise to end it allâŚwith just one signature.
Of course, I didnât plan on seeing Chas Ford outside of the office, and itâs his fault, if you want the truth. He and his brothers clearly have some so-called iron clad plan to test future business associates. And me, being their new lawyer, is next to take that test. Itâs innocent and transparent at first, but then something happens that throws us both off. My lawyer friend Tanya doesnât know the half of it, but as we meet for our regular Friday lunch, it seems that now weâve both got secrets in the bag. She being the one dating some mystery man, and me knee deep in Chas, and elbow deep in trouble with his other brothers. Do you think I passed the Ford Brothersâ test? I wonât know until someone signs on the dotted lineâŚ

Itâs a bad idea from the start. Me being on a date with our clientâs EA, that is. But after the meeting today, there isnât much choice. With my foot in my mouth and my ass being handed to me, I stew in my own stupidity, as I order her steak and red wine. Worst part is, she doesnât take the hint, and I end up in hot water with my brothers and with Ericka. With two women on my case, one I canât stand, the other I canât stand to be without, letâs just say that I learned a hard lesson. But, as if that isnât enough, foolishly, while I think I can salvage my reputation with my brothers, a threatening document arrives at my doorstep, begging for more blood, dragging all ten of us in for one last hoorah. Will the party end before it even gets started?
