"... a story of family loyalty, self-sacrifice, hot sex, and suspenseful action."
Mike Baldwin is a successful defense attorney who has his own law practice. His mother is always after him to find a nice girl and start a family. He claims he's far too busy for that.
Dara Williams is a first-year law student who has made friends with Mike's younger brother Sean. They attend a party and she first sets eyes on Mike. She notices how good-looking he is. Mike also notices her--she's the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. He wants to get to know her and explore that perfect body. Only he discovers that his brother is her date, and that she's been placed with his law office as an intern.
How are they going to work together with a physical attraction that is going to drive both of them to distraction? Then there's Sean. Neither wants to hurt him.
When their passion gets the best of them, Mike realizes he wants much more than a one-night stand. But how can he tell Dara he's in love with her when she is afraid to trust her heart to another man?
All in all this was quite a book! It's a story of family loyalty, self-sacrifice, hot sex, and suspenseful action. The hero Mike was inspirational. I liked him and his role as a mentor. He was a good man and a great hero, well worth rooting for.

Book Description for Trouble
SOME HURTS YOU ALWAYS REMEMBER…
Defense attorney Mike Baldwin has never lost a trial. He knows he can trust his razor-sharp instincts, and defendants who are straight up with him walk free. But those instincts always seem to fail him in his personal life. He’s been burned before, very badly, yet when he meets his younger brother Sean’s date—law student Dara Williams—at a party, the chemistry is undeniable.
…UNTIL TRUE LOVE HELPS YOU FORGET
Dara, though strong-willed and whip-smart, closely guards a painful past; the only time she was intimate with a man, her trust was betrayed. She doesn’t want another man, and that includes Sean. As Dara unwillingly begins an internship at Mike’s firm, the two deny their growing attraction until their smoldering desires just can’t be contained. But Mike prides himself on his honor and hates the thought of betraying his brother, and Dara continually wonders if she can truly put her trust in Mike. Can love heal the deepest wounds of the heart?
