Bachelor attorney and consummate ladies’ man Stone Barrington is out at his favorite Manhattan restaurant, Elaine’s, when he meets the stunning Carrie Cox, an aspiring actress just arrived in the city from down south. Unbeknownst to Stone however, in addition to her stage ambitions Carrie is also fleeing her problematic, abusive ex-husband who soon arrives in town to wreak havoc on Stone and Carrie’s budding romance. Eager and able to help with Carrie’s rather messy legal situation, Stone works his lawyer-magic, craftily extending his own authority to (and beyond) the ‘legal’ limit. But further issues need Stone's attention also and more than just a little drama is sure to be just around the corner, literally. A slew of other damsels in distress are in need of Stone's one-of-a-kind charm and legal gusto. Many, if not all, he's helped out before. To start with there’s high-profile heiress Hildy Parsons whose currently being blackmailed by a con artist, and fellow attorney Tiffany Baldwin is up to her neck in some strange dealings going on with her current case, a “federal nightmare”. Also, former fling and cultural connoisseur Rita Gammage is in need of some serious legal aid in order to keep her high-end art gallery going. All in all it’s just another day at the office for Stone followed by another adventurous night on the town. Woods 17th Stone Barrington is compelling if only for the colorful situations the author depicts his protagonist in, Stone managing to get into and (almost always) find a way out of multiple boisterous, sexy adventures.
