Louise Duncan has been passed over for a promotion because—according to her boss—she's too intimidating. A useful quality in court, he admits, but she scares her own clients. "Take some time off to work on your people skills" is his advice.
Louise heads for Bayberry Cove, North Carolina, and a visit with her best friend. Just as she begins to relax—thanks in part to the intriguing Navy commander who's living in the cottage she wants to rent—she meets a group of women who need her legal expertise and her take-no-prisoners attitude. So Attorney Louise Duncan gets ready to fight for justice.
Unfortunately, the commander is on the opposing team. And he's about to see a different side of Louise.
