Why Did It Have to Be You?

Connie Wilkerson has worked her butt off to go from heartbroken paralegal with a drinking problem to becoming Pineville, Michigan's fiercest new lawyer. But she's still short on luck. Exhibit A: her very first case is against bad-boy contractor David Carelli.

There's just one problem. Exhibit B: Their supposedly hostile negotiations are turning hot instead. Now the jury is out on whether a second chance is recommended . . .
