"Sometimes I wonder whether he kills that way, an amazingly pretty woman materializing besidethem, disconcerting them, disarming them and then ..."Danny Compton, average lawyer, has cruised through life avoiding all sorts of serious matters, including just about everything related to law until he opens his apartment door and meets thehottest woman he has ever seen. She is his cousin, Charlene, sleek, sassy and drop deadgorgeous. He didn't know he had a Cousin Charlene until that moment, and he certainly didn'tknow that Charlene started life as Dwight, his cousin whom the playground bullies targeted whenthey were children.Five years later, he is Daniel Rodney Compton, the head man of Compton and Associates, thehighly successful law firm created for him by Charlene because he was the only one who stoodup for Dwight - even if they lost every fistfight. In return, Charlene asks the occasional favor, and this time it's a whopper. He has to save an anonymous child from the clutches of his abusivegrandparents, where he is headed because the system isn't working.There's a catch. Compton's professional role model and personal hero is on the case.And that ain't all. Charlene's male ego, Charlie, plays poker with a group that includes WillieWatson, who pays his losses with his wife. After Charlie wins the pot he brings her home toDaniel and then leaves town "on business." Willie's wife, Mitzi, stays with Daniel as hispersonal slave until the next big game - and Daniel has no idea how to play poker. This first book in a trilogy is followed by Pandora's Box and My Cousin's Closet.
