Product Description of Beach Lawyer (Beach Lawyer Series)


After five grueling years, Robert Worth is just days away from making partner at a powerful Santa Monica law firm. When a client confides in him that senior partner Jack Pierce sexually assaulted her, Robert breaks two of his mentor’s cardinal rules: Never let yourself get emotional about clients. And never make an enemy of Jack Pierce.
Robert crosses Pierce and is fired on the spot, losing not only his job but also his reputation. Advised to go quietly, Robert vows revenge against the ruthless man who betrayed him. But his investigation uncovers a twisted shadow world of sex, infidelity, and deception, where nothing is as it seems and no one can be trusted. Only one thing is clear: Pierce will go the limit to keep his secrets.
This straight shooter will need to use every angle if he hopes to win. But could victory come at too high a price?

From the Editor

This cinematic legal thriller set up and down the Pacific Coast Highway transported me to sandy beaches, stately Santa Monica boardrooms, and the colorful Ocean Front Walk in Venice. Of course, I soon learned life in California is not all sunshine and palm trees—there are dark and nefarious dealings, too.

If you’ve ever experienced a horrible boss (and who hasn’t?), you’ll root for ambitious young lawyer Robert Worth. On the partner path, he put his blood, sweat, and countless hours into the job only to be shown the door by an arrogant and powerful senior partner. But Robert, like one of my all-time favorite fictional lawyers, The Firm’s Mitch McDeere, doesn’t take that treatment lying down.

Robert goes rogue, taking up a case for an underdog that pits him against his former firm. He truly thinks he’s representing his client for all the right reasons, but there are a couple of not-so-nice reasons. Like revenge. And money. Lots of it.

Trying to stay one step ahead of his former boss in this duplicitous world of backroom legal maneuvering, Robert uncovers lie after lie and the betrayals pile up page after page. And I, along with Robert, learned a very valuable lesson: trust no one.
