An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestseller. From New York Times bestselling author Catherine Bybee comes a dazzling series about newfound friendship, unexpected love, and second chances. Cynical divorce attorney Lori Cumberland lives by one Love is grand, but divorce is a hundred grand. With one failed marriage under her own personal belt, Lori had fallen hard and early—and it isn't something she plans on repeating. She's content focusing on the temporary marriages of her rich and famous clients. When she joins some of her recent divorcées on a celebratory cruise, her only vow is fun, sun, and new friends. But Lori finds herself tempted by a jury of one. For Reed Barlow, falling into the world of private investigation was easy. He knows the law and knows how to avoid breaking it—all while doing his job. His rule to live by? No emotion, no involvement—until Lori. His charming smile and cocky attitude distracts Lori and lowers her guard, which is exactly what Reed desires. But what appears as a one-time-only flirtation may be a plot orchestrated by Reed. As he's taking his investigation to a dangerous level, it's Lori who could end up in jeopardy. Reed has only one shot for Lori to grant him a second chance. But if he comes clean with her, he blows his cover. And that just might cost him the opportunity for an alliance of family—and of love.
