Exiles on Palm Canyon Drive Carly Mashburn

Living in the shadow of the windmills, nineteen year old Sasha D'Angelo is coasting in life after high school, delivering pizzas for her dad's restaurant, figuring out her options. Then she is betrayed, cyberbullied, and exiled from her clique, all for being a little too overweight to fit in. New lawyer Alan Marsden was the hottest young associate at a big L. A. Law Firm, on the fast track for partnership. But he lost the firm's patronage when his supervising partner suffered a heart attack. Lost in the cutthroat world of big firm office politics, Alan followed his supervising partner and only friend into exile at the Palm Springs office, where old lawyers go to die and young lawyers go to rehab, leaving his future with the firm in doubt. Sasha's father has hired Alan to go after the people who ruined his daughter's reputation. Fresh out of law school and orphaned by his firm, Alan wants to make a reputation, and Sasha's case just might be the one. Alan is Sasha's knight in a grey wool suit -- but he is a damaged knight with a sordid past. She is falling for him, fast -- but the code of ethics prohibits him from having an intimate relationship with a client. Together they are on a quest to recover the cell phones used to upload the compromising video of Sasha. But someone else wants those cell phones -- and will stop at nothing to get them...
