Legal Ease: Sutton Capital Series, Book One
by Lori Ryan
Legal Ease is available from Amazon.
BLURB:
Jack Sutton needs a wife and he needs one now. Jack loved
his mother, but she really screwed him over when she set up her will. If Jack
doesn’t have a wife by the end of the week, he’ll lose control of the largest
chunk of voting stock in his company and will most likely lose his position as
CEO as a result.
And Jack’s Aunt Mabry is waiting in the wings to make sure
that the terms of the will are enforced. If he doesn’t find a wife, she’ll
seize control of the stock so she can install her own son at the helm and she
couldn’t care less that her son doesn’t want the job or that he probably won’t
be any good at it.
Enter Kelly Bradley, a twenty eight year old college graduate
with a spot at Yale Law School but no way to pay for it. Kelly and Jack’s
eavesdropping secretary have discovered Jack’s secret need for a wife and Kelly
comes up with a plan to fix both of their problems.
Just when Jack needs her, Kelly breezes into his office,
introduces herself to his Aunt and cousin, and hands Jack an offer. She will
marry him for a year so that he can retain the stock that will keep him in
control of Sutton Development if he’ll pay for her to go to law school. Jack
has no idea where his beautiful savior came from or who she is but he’s willing
to take a chance to save it all.
The deal may have kept Jack in control at Sutton Development
but his private life quickly spirals out of control. Just when Jack realizes
that he wants more than a year with Kelly, his wealth puts her in great danger
and he is left scrambling to save her life and their future together.
EXCERPT:
Kelly
whipped through the house and up the stairs, calling out for Mrs. Poole as she
ran. “Mrs. Poole, come quickly! We have to move. We have to move.” Kelly
continued yelling as she ran into her room and grabbed drawers full of clothes
and piled hangers with slacks and dresses on them.
Mrs.
Poole came up the stairs with a puzzled look on her face. “What on earth are
you hollering about, Kelly?” she said as she tried to enter the room. She had
to jump out of the way as Kelly made a mad dash to Jack’s room.
“We
have to move all of my stuff into Jack’s room,” Kelly said, out of breath from
her packing and running. “Jack’s Aunt Mabry is on her way here and she’s
staying with us for a couple of weeks,” Kelly blurted out as she ran back down
the hall to gather more of her belongings.
“Oh
Lord,” Mrs. Poole rolled her eyes and followed after Kelly. She quickly grabbed
clothes and toiletries and rushed down the hall to Jack’s room. She and Kelly
repeated the trip half a dozen more times as they transferred everything and
set it into place. Mrs. Poole cleared out half of Jack’s dresser and closet and
made room for Kelly’s things while Kelly folded and put her clothing away to
make it appear as though the two had been living in holy matrimony since day
one.
Kelly
put away the last of her things and took a deep breath. She turned to survey
the masculine-looking room. There was a dark mahogany dresser and matching
armoire against the deep green walls. Large windows looked out on the same
beautiful waterfront view that her guest room windows had shared. She stopped
suddenly and held her breath when her eyes landed on the king-sized bed in the
center. Until that moment, it hadn’t occurred to her that she and Jack would
now have to share a bed. Kelly’s smile fell away as she realized that keeping
her attraction hidden from Jack just became a lot more difficult.
