(Gay / Erotica / Erotic Romance / Anthology / Collections / Contemporary / Series) Being a professional success sometimes means putting a social life on the back burner, especially when you're as driven as attorneys Derek Rossi and Sam Kimball.

The course of their relationship won't be easy. Nothing worthwhile ever is. But they're driven men, used to wrangling with the worst, and if they have to fight along the way, making up will always be worth it.

Included are the tales......Wranglers: Discovery (Derek Rossi is used to being one of the best young lawyers in San Francisco...until he loses a case to his legal rival, the sexy and irrepressible Sam Kimball. The passionate, two-month-long court battle has left Derek frustrated, angry, and ready to take it out on Sam. But when Sam surprises him with a kiss, Derek has absolutely no idea what to do. All he knows is his preoccupation with the other lawyer now includes more than wrangling in the courtroom with him. The only problem is, Sam honors Derek's request to leave him alone. Derek thought that was what he wanted. But now, with memories of the kiss consuming him, Derek doesn't know what he wants at all anymore.)......Wranglers: Voir Dire (Sam finally gets what he's wanted ever since meeting Derek across a conference room table--his legal rival in his bed. The sex is fantastic, but Derek makes it clear from the start this is a no-strings arrangement. That's why Sam doesn't bother letting Derek know about the weekend he needs to spend in Napa as best man in his friends' commitment ceremony. But when Derek finds out, and inexplicably agrees to go along as his date, Sam is both excited and terrified. This will be the first time either of them has met the other's friends. He has no idea how Derek is going to handle it, or worse, if he really wants to handle it at all.)......Wranglers: The Defense Rests (They started out on opposite sides of the conference table. Now, lovers Sam and Derek find themselves assigned to the same case, for the first time since they started sleeping together. There's only one problem...Derek doesn't want to take the case. Derek's frustration has both men lashing out at each other. Somehow, they have to find a way to resolve their differences before the situation destroys what they have.)......Wranglers: Judgment (Co-counseling a case does more than give Derek and Sam another win in their column. It brings them closer together as a couple, on the verge of something more. Until a surprise visit from Sam's parents--who don't even know he's gay--changes everything. Now, Derek needs to prove the last six months haven't been a fluke. And pray his relationship with Sam is strong enough to survive this personal trial.)
