After 25 years as a divorce lawyer, Barbara now writes mysteries filled with danger and a hint of romance, humor, and family, proving that this roller coaster called life always keeps us guessing.

In her latest novel, Love & the Divorce Lawyer, Josephina Jensen, a feisty, justice-seeking divorce lawyer reluctantly returns to the courtroom after a four year absence to help a woman collect an award worth several million dollars from her unscrupulous ex-husband. This decision forces her to cross swords with the brilliant, infuriating, yet ever so charming divorce lawyer, Richard Diamond, and the ex-husband who will stop at nothing to prevent the dismantling of his empire. Little does anyone know that someone from Josephina’s past is also at work, intent on taking care of unfinished business by stopping her permanently.

In addition to Love & the Divorce Lawyer, Barbara has written Legally Yours and Finally Yours as Kimberly Whitmore.

Barbara grew up in New Jersey, then headed to Massachusetts for college and law school before settling in Connecticut. Local readers may know her by her real name as Atty. Kimberly Peterson.
