ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 22, 2019

Rule #1: Never fall for your client.
Rule #2: Never fall for your client’s fiercely protective, smoking hot sister-in-law.

I’m the kind of guy who believes that everyone deserves the best legal representation money can buy—which just so happens to be me, Lucas Wright. Give me your henpecked, your cuckolded, your irreconcilable differences yearning to break free! And if you’re the bad guy in your marriage, that’s cool too. Your green is as good as anyone’s.

Tell that to Trinity Jones. It’s my job to destroy her sister—the soon-to-be ex-wife of my a-hole of a client—and Trinity’s “big sis” instincts are dialed up to the max. I admire that. I admire her. But she won’t stop me from representing my client to the best of my ability.

Not even if my chemistry with Trinity is undeniable. Not even if we can’t keep our hands off each other. Not even if she injects life into a heart assumed to be long dead.

Because when faced with a choice between love and duty, the job will always win—or at least that’s what I thought before I met Trinity . . . and suddenly conflict of interest never felt so right.

REVIEW: ILLEGALLY YOURS is the second instalment in Kate Meader’s contemporary, adult LAWS OF ATTRACTION erotic, romance series focusing on three friend and law partners: Max Henderson, Lucas Wright, and Grant Lincoln. This is twenty-eight year old, divorce attorney Lucas Wright, and thirty-four year old, sommelier Trinity Jones’ story line. ILLEGALLY YOURS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lucas and Trinity) ILLEGALLY YOURS follows the building relationship between twenty-eight year old, divorce attorney Lucas Wright, and thirty-four year old, sommelier Trinity Jones. Lucas Wright doesn’t do relationships but meeting sommelier Trinity Jones’ at Max Henderson’s bachelor party made our hero sit up and take notice but trouble is about to follow Max and Trinity when Max discovers that Trinity is the sister in law of the man he represents in an upcoming divorce battle.

The relationship between Lucas and Trinity is one of immediate attraction although Lucas’ smart British mouth gets him into a bit of trouble with out story line heroine. Discovering that Lucas is her sister’s soon to be ex-husband’s attorney knows that to cross ethical lines could place Lucas on the road to disbarment but the heart wants something more than a passing fling. Both having suffered painful childhood drama, Lucas and Trinity become kindred spirits as they recall heart break from the past.The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

We are reintroduced to Max and Charlie (Down With Love #1), as well as fellow divorce attorneys and business partners Grant Lincoln, and Aubrey Gates: Trinity’s sister Emily Carso , and her soon to be ex-husband Brian, and their children Chase and Arianna ; and fellow co-workers and Trinity’s friends Gideon and Pete.
