Howard Hamilton may be an eminent barrister but he is an appalling husband. His first wife divorced him, his second walked out. Blithely unaware that he is the biggest male chauvinist of all time, he considers the fair sex is anything but fair.

Emma Maitland feels much the same way about men, but she needs a barrister - and a job.
