Falling for Rachel Landlocked in Manhattan, rough-and-ready seaman Zackary Muldoon needed a street-smart, two-fisted attorney to save his kid brother's delinquent hide. What he got was a long-legged lady lawyer clad in sophisticated silks. Public defender Rachel Stanislaki made Zack's blood boil...and his loins ache. No endless voyage had ever had him hungering for a female the way one day in court with this woman did. He'd have to give Rachel a wide berth...before she trimmed his sails forever... and anchored him with unquenchable desire. Convincing Alex Soap opera writer Bess McNee figured the only way to understand a character was to stand in her shoes — even if they were a streetwalker's stiletto heels. So she got tossed into the slammer, thanks to the sexiest detective in New York and she decided the detective was absolutely perfect...for her research and for herself. Now all she had to do was convince him she was right... Alex Stanislaski thought he'd seen it all — until he arrested headstrong Bess McNee for soliciting. And then she wanted him to let her follow him around to get "ideas" for her show! Trouble was the lady was giving him altogether too many ideas...
