Discovering Nicola

Sparks fly between Nicola Albright KC and Geeta Sachdeva, but not the good kind. They're the sort that leave small fires, devastation, and everyone peeping between their fingers at arrogant lawyer, Nicola, on one side, and everyone's favorite mum, Geeta, on the other. Yet when both are divorced and at a new stage in life, they find themselves living within glowering distance of each other, in beautiful Iffley Village, Oxford. Reluctantly they call a truce and try to make friends. It's tricky though, when there's more than one reason they've circled and snapped for years. For a start, Geeta's lawyer daughter, Olivia, idolizes the eminent King's Counsel barrister, to eye rolls from Geeta. And to Nicola's annoyance, her own daughter, Charlotte, has always turned to perfect mama Geeta for comfort and understanding. Animosity between the two is a given. Until they force themselves to be nice to each other, that is, and then they're compelled to question everything . . .
