Breaking up is hard to do. At least the first few times.
Even though Molly Grant has only a handful of relationships behind her, sheâs already been through more divorces than she can count.
At the premier Manhattan law firm where sheâs a matrimonial attorney, the hours are long, the bosses tyrannical, and the bonuses stratospheric. Her clients are rich, famous, and used to getting their way. Mollyâs jobâand primary concern in lifeâis to work as hard as possible to make sure they do. Until she meets the client who changes everythingâĻ.
Fern Walker is the desperate former wife of a ruthless media mogul. Her powerful ex is slowly pushing her out of her young childrenâs lives, and she fears losing them forever. Mollyâhaunted by an incident from her own pastâfinds herself unable to walk away from Fern and sets out to help her. She just needs to do it without her bosses finding out.
Now, as complications both professional and personal stack up, Molly can only hope that her own wits, heart, and instincts are enoughâboth in and out of court.
