The Younger Man

Can a lawyer who specialises in breaking up couples find her own happy ending?

Hazel Chamberlayne can. She’s turning forty. And do you know what? She’s excited about it. Successful by her own standards, flanked by a group of magnetic friends, she feels as if life is genuinely beginning for her.

Okay. Hazel would like a man. Though seeing the dregs of relationships every day as a divorce lawyer means she doesn’t have much hope in men, much luck with men nor much time to look for them, period.

However, when fellow divorce lawyer Joe Ryan appears — a man ten years her junior, with a long-standing live-in girlfriend — he challenges Hazel’s beliefs about who men are and what they want. And what will make her happy in life. Because this man may be different. Maybe.
