NATIONAL BESTSELLER Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR Legally Blonde and Jury Duty meet The
Real Housewives in this high-stakes courtroom love story—a sexy and sweet but heartfelt novel
about friendship romance and reality television from the acclaimed author of Love Buzz and In
a Not So Perfect World . Sydney Parks thinks she might be the first person in the world to
look forward to serving jury duty. When Margot Kitsch an OG cast member of the hit reality
show Authentic Moms of Malibu is arrested after the untimely death of her cast member husband
Joe Sydney knows being selected for the jury is the most interesting thing that ever happened
to her. However it doesn’t take long for Sydney to realize that being part of a sequestered
jury in a high-profile case is not at all what legal dramas had led her to expect—especially
when she learns that her childhood best friend Damon whom she hasn't seen in ten years is
also a jury member. As the trial wears on Sydney realizes there's a lot more to the case than
she first thought. And there's also a lot more to Damon—she soon finds herself falling under
his spell despite the court’s instructions not to fraternize. His tendency to break the rules
and find adventure is hard to resist in their otherwise dull juror's world. But getting close
to Damon also means having to face the complicated reasons their friendship abruptly ended just
when they were on the precipice of something more. With all the drama in and out of the
courtroom how is Sydney supposed to ignore the fraught history between them? How is she
supposed to avoid him when he’s sitting next to her in the jury box every day with his broad
shoulders and intoxicating smell? And how is she supposed to ensure Margot gets a fair trial if
her unfinished business with Damon causes the mistrial of the century?
