New Releases by Emma Chase

Dans la première saison de Sexy Lawyers nous avions découvert la passion, puis l''amour qui unissait Stanton et Sofia dans une comédie romantique épicée. Dans la deuxième saison nous avons adoré les aventures amoureuses de Jake et Chelsea. Dans cette troisième saison nous allons suivre les aventures d''un autre ami de la bande des avocats sexy de Washington : Brent qui va tomber sous le charme de la sublime Kennedy. Brent, avocat et ami de Santon et Sofia, retrouve Kennedy, une ravissante jeune femme qu''il avait humiliée à l''université. Brent est subjugué, mais Kennedy, devenue aujourd''hui une brillante procureure, n''est pas décidée à le laisser entrer dans vie. Mais comme souvent, il existe une réelle différence entre passion et raison... Et Brent et Kennedy sont bien déterminés à vérifier s''ils sont aussi brillants au lit qu''ils le sont au tribunal...

OVERRULED est la première saison de la série SEXY LAWYERS, une comédie sexy et romantique dans le monde des avocats à Washington. L''histoire commence à Sunshine, une petite ville du Mississipi où l''on découvre Stanton et Jenny, 17 ans, roi et reine de leur promo, meilleurs amis et amoureux depuis leur enfance, qui apprennent que Jenny est enceinte. Ils décident de garder l''enfant mais ne changent pas leurs plans d''avenir car ils veulent ce qu''il y a de mieux pour eux : Jenny reste à Sunshine et Stanton va étudier le droit à Columbia à New York, où il rencontre Drew, le héros de la série Love Game. Les chemins du jeune couple se séparent... on retrouve Stanton dix ans plus tard à Washington entouré de ses amis Sofia, Jake et Brent. Stanton est avocat, un des meilleurs, dans un cabinet prestigieux, et il vit une relation passionnelle avec Sofia, sa collègue et meilleure amie. Il ne voit presque jamais sa fille Preston et prétend toujours aimer Jenny. Ce qui convient parfaitement à la sulfureuse Sofia qui préfère se concentrer sur sa carrière et éviter les histoires de coeur compliquées. Tout se déroule parfaitement jusqu''au jour où Stanton reçoit le faire-part de mariage de son ex... Stanton décide de partir à Sunshine pour rompre le mariage et reconquérir Jenny. Il emmène Sofia avec lui pour qu''elle puisse l''aider et lui donner des conseils. Pendant ce temps, Sofia se rend compte peu à peu qu''elle aime Stanton, mais comme elle pense que les sentiments ne sont pas réciproques, elle essaie de les refouler. Un mariage qui risque d''être annulé, des sex-friends qui ne réalisent pas qu''ils s''aiment... Une comédie romantique et sexy, pour le meilleur et pour le pire !

Sexy Lawyers Series 3 romanzi in 1 Bestseller USA Today e New York Times La vita per un avvocato può essere davvero difficile, tra competizione, stress e clienti impossibili. Ma se ci si mettono anche gli affari di cuore... In Amore illegale Sofia Santos, molto determinata, si è ripromessa di diventare l’avvocato penalista più temuto dai tribunali di tutto il Paese e non ha certo tempo da perdere in relazioni o sciocchezze sentimentali. Ma quando Stanton, il suo “amico dalle strabilianti prestazioni”, implora il suo aiuto, accetta di andare con lui e fare tutto il possibile per aiutarlo a riconquistare la donna che ama. Niente regole è la storia di Jake Becker, un avvocato senza scrupoli: freddo, insensibile e a tratti intimidatorio. Finché, a mettere in crisi le sue certezze, arrivano la dolce, innocente, e bellissima Chelsea McQuaid e i suoi sei nipoti orfani. Quando Brent Mason, in Amore senza regole, guarda Kennedy Randolph, non vede la goffa e dolce ragazza con cui è cresciuto, ma una donna splendida, sicura di sé che non esiterebbe a schiacciare le sue parti intime con le sue Louboutin. Quando Kennedy guarda Brent, tutto quello che vede è l’adolescente egoista e superficiale che l’ha umiliata al liceo, insieme alla maggior parte della gente che a quel tempo rendeva la sua vita un inferno. Ma ora è un procuratore con una lunga scia di successi alle spalle e forse è arrivato il momento di far vivere anche a Brent quello che ha vissuto lei...

Then, six irresistible orphans and their heartbreakingly beautiful aunt crashed into his perfectly ordered life. They changed everything. They changed him. Now he''s a husband, an upstanding member of society, a father figure--a family man. And he''s pretty damn good at it. Sure, he has to referee sibling smackdowns, re-learn algebra, ensure his clients stay of jail, and keep his wife happy--but it finally feels like he''s got it together again....So, of course something has to screw it all up.It''s huge. Life-changing. Kind of terrifying.And it will be the most amazing, perfect thing he''ll ever do. Join Jake & Chelsea, Stanton & Sofia, Brent & Kennedy as they navigate the hilarious and heartwarming hurdles of love, life and the law in this final addition to the Legal Briefs Series

The New York Times bestselling author of the Tangled books returns with the third standalone romance in the Legal Briefs series, a collection of sexy novels about first crushes, second chances, and the final verdict of the heart. When Brent Mason looks at Kennedy Randolph, he doesn’t see the awkward, sweet girl who grew up next door. He sees a self-assured, stunning woman…who wants to crush the most intimate—and prized—parts of his anatomy beneath the heels of her Louboutins. When Kennedy looks at Brent, all she sees is the selfish, Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue–worthy teenager who humiliated her in high school in order to join the popular crowd. A crowd that made those years a living hell for her. But she’s not a lovesick social outcast anymore—she’s a Washington, DC, prosecutor with a long winning streak. Brent is the opposing attorney in her next case, and Kennedy thinks it’s time to put him through a little hell of his own. But things aren’t exactly working out the way she planned. Brent has his sights set on Kennedy, and every fiery exchange only makes him want her more—and makes her wonder if he’s as passionate in the bedroom as he is in the courtroom. In the end, they may just find themselves in love…or in contempt of court.

When you''re a defense attorney in Washington, DC, you see firsthand how hard life can be, and that sometimes the only way to survive is to be harder. Jake Becker has a reputation for being cold, callous, and intimidating-- and that''s necessary when he''s breaking down a witness on the stand. Then Chelsea McQuaid and her six orphaned nieces and nephews came along and complicated the ever-loving hell out of his life. Chelsea needs someone to help her, defend her ... and the kids, too, of course ...

A Washington, DC, defence attorney, Stanton Shaw keeps his head cool, his questions sharp, and his arguments irrefutable. They don''t call him the Jury Charmer for nothing. Men want to be him, and women want to be thoroughly cross examined by him. Stanton''s a man with a plan. And for a while, life was going according to that plan. Until the day he receives an invitation to the wedding of his high school sweetheart, the mother of his beloved ten-year-old daughter. Jenny is getting married-to someone who isn''t him.

Her head tells her she''s crazy...and her heart says something else entirely. What happens when you mix a one-stop-light town, two professional arguers, a homecoming queen, four big brothers, some Jimmy Dean sausage, and a gun-toting Nana?

Falling in love is easy. Staying in love is hard. In this heart-pounding follow-up to Tangled by New York Times bestseller Emma Chase, Kate reveals that there is trouble in paradise, when unexpected circumstances force her and Drew to "renegotiate" their relationship. There are two kinds of people in this world: the ones who look first, and the ones who leap. I’ve always been more of a looker. A planner. Cautious. Then I met Drew Evans. He was so persistent. So sure of himself. He made it easy to leap with him. Did you think Drew and I were going to ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after? So did I. But life is about choices, and Drew already made his. In fact, he tried to decide for the both of us—but you know that’s not my style. So I came back to Greenville, to spend some time alone...sort of. Because old habits die hard, and sometimes you have to go back to where you began before you can move ahead again.

Drew Evans venceu na vida. Charmoso e arrogante, ele fecha negócios milionários e seduz as mulheres mais lindas de Nova York apenas com seu sorriso. Seus amigos são leais e sua família o apoia. Então por que ele está trancado em seu apartamento há sete dias, terrivelmente deprimido? Ele dirá que está gripado, mas isso obviamente não é verdade. Katherine Brooks é uma mulher linda, inteligente e ambiciosa, que não deixa nada nem ninguém distraí-la de sua busca pelo sucesso. Ela foi contratada pela empresa de investimentos do pai de Drew, o que vira a vida do rapaz de cabeça para baixo: a competição com ela o estressa, sua atração por ela o distrai e suas investidas fracassadas o frustram. Logo quando Drew achava estar próximo de ter tudo aquilo que queria, seu excesso de confiança põe tudo a perder. Será que ele conseguirá enfrentar os contratempos e vencer o verdadeiro desafio de sua vida: o amor?

Drew Evans is a winner. Handsome and arrogant, he makes multimillion-dollar business deals and seduces New York''s most beautiful women with just a smile. He has loyal friends and an indulgent family. So why has he been shuttered in his apartment for seven days, miserable and depressed? He''ll tell you he has the flu. But we all know that''s not really true. Katherine Brooks is brilliant, beautiful, and ambitious. She refuses to let anything-or anyone-derail her path to success. When Kate is hired as the new associate at Drew''s father''s investment banking firm, every aspect of the dashing playboy''s life is thrown into a tailspin. The professional competition she brings is unnerving, his attraction to her is distracting, and his failure to entice her into his bed is exasperating. Then, just when Drew is on the cusp of having everything he wants, his overblown confidence threatens to ruin it all. Will he be able untangle his feelings of lust and tenderness, frustration and fulfillment? Will he rise to the most important challenge of his life? Can Drew Evans win at love? Tangled is not your mother''s romance novel. It is an outrageous, passionate, witty narrative about a man who knows a lot about women...just not as much as he thinks he knows. As he tells his story, Drew learns the one thing in life he never wanted is the only thing he can''t live without.
