Eve Paxton, New Yorker transplanted to London, is a kickass divorce attorney to the rich and famous. At least when she's on her game. But lately she's been more than slightly off, to the consternation of her colleagues at Paxton's, her law firm. Eve has turned down several lucrative clients on the basis she simply did not like them. She's put on some weight and the diet her office manager Joseph has her on has done nothing for her joie de vivre. Her friend Anne says it's time she had a man in her life again. Is she right? And is the candidate Anne's proposing the right man for her? Eve doesn't know and isn't sure she's in any state to make a good decision. Her daughter Catherine is having an affair with one of her professors, who happens to be married.

Her son Tommy is infatuated with a gorgeous Russian Eve worries is just after his money. And Eve herself is being stalked by the unhappy husband of a celebrity whose divorce she is handling. But it's what Eve has decided to do with her hair that's her biggest problem. And it's costing her sleep, friends and professional credibility. But Eve is determined and willing to let the chips fall where they may.
