A marriage-of-convenience with a twist
Jack Sutton isn’t about to be backed into a corner by the stipulations of his mother’s will. She might have wanted to be sure he was married by the time he was thirty, but that doesn’t mean he needs to give in. There’s always a way around anything that stands in his way. This is no exception. If only he hadn’t made the mistake of telling his aunt he’d be introducing his fiance to her that afternoon.
When Kelly Bradley walks into the middle of his meeting with his aunt, he can only assume his best friend sent her. She’s the answer he needs, isn’t she? And if Andrew sent her, he must have screened her. Saying yes to her proposal will hand him the solution he needs.
But will her fix end up costing a whole lot more than either she or Jack planned to pay? When her life is on the line, Jack finds himself racing to save the woman he’s fast losing his heart to.
Heartwarming contemporary romance with a heart- stopping twist of suspense. Legal Ease is the first book in Lori Ryan’s widly popular Sutton Capital Series, but it can be read as a stand-alone book.

Author Interview:
- What is the first book that made you cry? I’m not sure what the first one was, but I can guess it might have been The Outsiders (I was in love with that book as a teenager) or Robyn Carr’s Virgin River (the scene where Mel finally breaks over the loss of her husband and Jack is there to hold her).
- What is the most unethical practice in the publishing industry? Oh, I’m sure there are many. On the whole, I try to focus on the positive and ignore all that stuff, but lately there has been book stuffing happening in Kindle Unlimited and that’s awful. Essentially, an author puts their own book in the file, but also puts four or five other books they wrote in the back. These are “freebie” for readers, so most readers don’t mind, but they don’t realize what’s happening. Basically, when a reader scrolls through that or goes through the table of contents to skip ahead to those bonus books to see if there’s one they haven’t read yet, that author is given credit for those readers flipping the pages. They are gaming the Kindle Unlimited system to be paid for pages the reader might not even be reading. It’s become a major issue. They’re making thousands in bogus earnings each month. If readers see this and start reporting it to Amazon, the company will start to crack down.
- Does writing energize or exhaust you? Most of the time, it completely energizes me. It’s my escape and I love it. That said, there are times I’m pulling my hair out trying to get through a draft, but even then, it’s an amazing job.
- What are common traps for aspiring writers? To try to make that first book perfect. Get through the first draft and then send it to some friends to read for feedback. That book isn’t doing you any good sitting in your head or on your computer, half finished.
- Is being a writer a gift or a curse? Both! I mean, face it, we have a great gig here getting to live in our fantasy worlds. We get to talk to readers and share our worlds with you. It’s pretty awesome! On the other hand, everything we see in real life can lead to a daydream about a new plotline or a new character. It can be a little maddening to have all those voices talking in your head.
