"Sydney Parks thinks she might be the first person in the world to look forward to jury duty. When Margot Kitsch, an OG cast member of the hit reality show Authentic Moms of Malibu, is arrested after the untimely death of her cast member husband, Sydney knows being selected for the jury is the wildest thing that's ever happened to her. However, it doesn't take long for Sydney to realize being part of a sequestered jury in a high-profile trial is not at all what legal dramas suggest -- especially when she learns her childhood best friend, Damon, whom she hasn't seen in ten years, is also a jury member. As the trial wears on, Sydney realizes there's a lot more to the case than she first thought. And there's also a lot more to Damon -- she soon finds herself falling under his spell despite the court's instructions not to fraternize. His tendency to break the rules and find adventure is hard to resist in their otherwise carefully controlled juror's world. But getting close to Damon also means having to face the complicated reasons their friendship abruptly ended just when they were on the cusp of something more. With all the drama in and out of the courtroom, how is Sydney supposed to ignore the fraught history between them? ... And how is she supposed to ensure Margot gets a fair trial if her unfinished business with Damon may just cause the mistrial of the century?"--Flap page 1 of dust jacket
