Can an author make the Supreme Court sexy? He can if he's Paul Levine, author of the popular Jake Lassiter series. For his new thriller, 9 Scorpions, Levine puts Lassiter on hold and concentrates on gorgeous Supreme Court law clerk Lisa Fremont. She's everything a man could ever want -- brilliant, beautiful, and amibitous. But she's got a dark past filled with strip clubs, seedy hangouts, and a powerful executive named Max Wanaker who was Lisa's savior -- and is now about to become her worst nightmare.

It seems Max needs a favor. He needs Justice Samuel Truitt's vote in an important case before the Supreme Court. And what better way to get that vote than by having his dreamy ex-stripper enjoy some pillow talk with Truitt? But when Lisa agrees, she's not prepared for her genuine attraction towards Truitt -- an attraction that can divide her loyalties and land both Truitt and herself in a deadly game of truth, justice, and cold-blooded murder.
