Her Disclosure (The Chambers Series)
Frances Laine KC doesn't keep photographs in her office. She doesn't stay for drinks. She doesn't let anyone close enough to notice — and she has been invisible for fifteen years.
Then the court appoints Dr Tess Bancroft as the expert on her most important case.
Tess notices everything. It's her job — she counts seconds, reads silences, watches a child open a fridge and knows what it means. She's precise, professional, and entirely focused on the two children who need to go home to their mother.
She is not supposed to notice how Frances holds a pen. Or how her voice drops when she thinks no one is listening. Or how her control — that exacting, maddening control — is the most intimate thing Tess has ever wanted to take apart.
The case has a timetable. The children have a mother who's been waiting fourteen months. Frances and Tess have every reason to stay on opposite sides of the counsel table — and no ability to stay there.
In court, they fight to bring two children home. Behind closed doors, the barrister who made herself invisible discovers what it costs to be seen — and the woman who sees everything discovers what happens when she stops watching and starts wanting.
If anyone finds out, the expert report is thrown out. The case collapses. The children don't go home.
Her Disclosure is an explicit forbidden-workplace sapphic romance with professional women who should know better, a single mum who doesn't do vulnerability, courtroom drama, found family, and a guaranteed HEA.
