Excerpt:
A surprised cry from behind made me jump.
I turned and recovered first. ‘Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.’
She stood uncertainly, a pile of books in her arms. ‘It’s okay. I didn’t see you, it’s so dark. They should fix the damned car park lights here.’
‘Are you all right?’ My instincts were prickling. I tried to keep my voice calm.
She nodded at her car. ‘I just want to put these on the passenger seat.’
‘Right, of course,’ I said, quickly stepping back.
‘Oh – okay, thanks.’ She moved forward and bent to fit her car key into the door.
‘You’ve been studying?’ I asked.
‘No, I’m the librarian here. I’m taking these home to fix – oh damn!’ The books slid from her arms to the ground. She cursed softly again and crouched to retrieve them.
I leaned forward, reaching. She probably thought I was going to help.

When Lauren steps off the merry-go-round called marriage, her life quickly turns into a three-ring circus: her hypochondriac father moves in, her ex is using her shower when she’s not home, and her perky assistant is pushing her out into the fearsome dating world. Lauren also has to decide if the vintage merry-go-round she won in the divorce settlement is a blessing or a bane. And her professional life is filled with quirky law-breakers. What’s a woman to do? She can allow life to spin her in circles forever — or she can reach out and grab the brass ring.
