When law graduate, Ali Barrett, lands an internship with Colchester law firm PWT, she’s over the moon, little anticipating that it will turn her life upside down and lead to heartbreak.
It’s been Ali’s life-long ambition to become a solicitor and she avidly follows the case when her firm’s handsome, wealthy client, Graham Spellings, is charged with the attempted rape of a ‘live-in’ stable maid. PWT’s partner, sexy but distant Hugh Sutherland, handles the case.
Professionalism, of course, doesn't rule out fun and Ali has a number of light-hearted entanglements. But serious romance beckons and a Burns Night party at the home of PWT partner Baz Trimble finds Ali unexpectedly falling headlong for Hugh, though he barely seems to notice and a frustrating few weeks follow…
…Later, a surprise development alters the course of the investigation against Graham. Meanwhile, Ali’s turbulent love life takes a turn for the worse...
The Ardent Intern is the first of a series of five novels, the saga stretching into the years ahead, featuring Colchester lawyers.
