HEART VS. HUMBUG
Authors: Rodgers, M.J.
Publisher: Harlequin
ISBN: 9781459283930
Classification: Non-Fiction
Synopsis: He Said the Law Couldn't Afford a Heart…
Attorney Brett Merlin—alias the Magician—was certain he'd squashed one senior citizen's Christmas crusade against his Scrooge of a client. Until he met opposing counsel, the fiery, flame-haired Octavia Osborne…and his open-and-shut civil suit escalated to murder in the first degree.
Suddenly, the magician of law found himself up against a mistress of legal abracadabra, who pulled more countersuits out of her attorney's brief than Santa did presents out of his sleigh.
What Brett saw as a matter of law, Octavia saw as a matter of heart. Either way, he was out to set some surprising new precedents—both legal and personal.
