Happy Friday! I am so excited to feature An Appearance of Impropriety by Jayna Breigh. Excited because I loved her first book and am looking forward to reading this one soon. And excited because Jayna will be in my hometown for a book festival in just a month! Woo hoo! Her first novel, A Hunted Heir was one of my favorites of 2025. I expect this novel to be at the top this year too. Look closely at the cover — the judge’s shoes!!
Here’s the first line:
Molasses-thick traffic advanced toward downtown Los Angeles in the jerky fits and starts of a cheap carnival ride.
As the youngest female judge in LA, Mahalia Jackson has her career goals carefully aligned. But when her mentor tells her she needs to break her shell of professionalism and show a little heart by volunteering for the Junior Jurors program, her plans begin to falter.
Attorney JD Cash heads up the Junior Jurors program, a project born out of his own troubled past. He leverages his position as an attorney to fulfill God’s calling on his life, supporting the orphans and widows of society who have lost beloved husbands and fathers to TransNation’s eighteen-wheeled time bombs roaming America’s freeways.
Mahalia’s rule—never date a lawyer—is a straitjacket that tightens when she presides over the case where JD serves as a young widow’s attorney. But when an earthquake leaves JD and Mahalia in a vulnerable position, her resolve begins to waver and she finds herself opening up to the sad-eyed lawyer. But online, anonymous colleagues and adversaries attempt to destroy Mahalia’s reputation and career.
A legal drama threaded with romance, An Appearance of Impropriety will show listeners that real love is worth the risk.
