Martini Mondays

Book 1 in the sizzling Palm Springs Poolside series by J. L. Brannick.
Poolside martini parties on Monday nights, a grumpy hot-as-sin man, intrigue, angst, and an eclectic, found family. But can Laurel keep her father from ruining it all?
I'm just looking for a quiet place to catch my breath at my aunt's funeral celebration.
Instead, I come across Sebastian Mendoza who's brutally scraping off an old hookup. And if that's not awkward enough, the woman calls him a prick and a grumpy asshole, then flips him off as she walks away.
The gorgeous man might be my late aunt's friend, but he has the personality of a rabid, prickly porcupine. And I have enough trouble. I'm graduating from law school, but with no job prospects, no place to live, and a mountain of debt.
So I plan to steer clear and keep my temper-and libido-in check. Because not only does Sebastian have a filthy mouth, but he's also my best friend's cousin and my new business partner. Suddenly, the grumpy asshole is everywhere, and he's got a protective side that melts me like a cheap popsicle in July.
But can I keep my father from destroying my happiness again? And can I trust Sebastian with my scars and battered heart?
