Practice Makes Perfect

WHEN IT COMES TO THE LAWS OF ATTRACTION… Payton Kendall and J.D. Jameson are lawyers who know the meaning of objection. A feminist to the bone, Payton has fought hard to succeed in a profession dominated by men. Born wealthy, privileged, and cocky, J.D. has fought hard to ignore her. Face to face, theyre perfectly civil. They have to be. For eight years theyve kept a safe distance and tolerated each other as co-workers for one reason only: to make partner at the firm.   …THERE ARE NO RULES. But all bets are off when theyre asked to join forces on a major case. At first apprehensive, they begin to appreciate each others dedication to the law—and the sparks between them quickly turn into attraction. But the increasingly hot connection doesnt last long when they discover that only one of them will be named partner. Now its an all out war. And the battle between the sexes is bound to make these lawyers hot under the collar…
