Lawfully Yours: A Second Chance Forced-Proximity Romance Between Two Indian Divorce Lawyers
Two of the country’s top divorce lawyers…Fighting their own divorce.
And a celebrity divorce case that will force them back into each other’s orbit.
KUSHAL NAIR
I’m Fighting a Divorce Case… Against My Own Wife. And Now We’re Forced to Work Together.
I’ve won every legal battle of my career,
But the one war I’m losing is my marriage to Arundhati.
Nine months of living separately.
Nine months of watching her slip away.
Nine months of pretending I don’t miss the woman who once felt like home.
Our divorce hearings are still underway.
She wants closure.
I want… her.
And then fate throws us into the same case.
A high-stakes, media-obsessed divorce that demands we work side by side, every day, in the same room.
She is sharp, ruthless, and the only woman who has ever truly shaken me.
The tension? Unbearable.
The attraction? Undeniable.
The past? Too messy to ignore.
This time, no matter how hard she pushes me away…
I’m not letting my marriage die without a fight.
ARUNDHATI NAIR
Forced Proximity + Second Chance Romance… with the Husband I’m Trying to Divorce.
I’ve spent the last nine months living alone,
Building walls brick by brick,
Preparing for the day the court officially ends my marriage to Kushal Nair.
He is manipulative, arrogant, and too damn charming for his own good.
We’ve been fighting our own divorce case like sworn enemies.
No contact.
No conversations.
Until we are forced to work together on the messiest celebrity divorce case in the country.
Same law firm.
Same cabin.
Same late-night strategy sessions.
Same man I’ve been trying to erase from my life.
I should stay focused.
I should stay distant.
I should remember why I left him.
We are supposed to stay unaffected.
But what happens when the fire we thought died… starts blazing all over again?
Welcome to ‘Lawfully Yours’ - A sizzling, desi contemporary romance full of courtroom heat, sizzling tension, office rivalry, and a marriage fighting to find its way back.

Who eats Parathas with fork ?? 💀💀
Honestly, it was unnecessarily long and because of that it got boring around 60-70% mark.
So for the first 50% - it’s all about their divorce, him asking for a second chance, her refusing, a client thrown into the mix, some flirting and all. Then next 10-15% is her changing her mind, trying to reconcile, finding out that Kushal refused to inherit the firm, Kushal being cold & refusing her advances. Last 30-35% is them reconciling, a karwachauth, them hooking up finally, getting their HEA bla bla bla.
In the first 50%, I honestly hated as well as understood Arundhati. She simply refused to hear anything and because of that I found her very irritating!!! but also if I were in her position and found out my husband has married me to inherit the firm plus had an ex who he was planning to propose, I would’ve given him the same treatment. I understood her pain & trauma when she finally told him the truth about her parents death. I did not see her being the main lawyer in the book honestly. She was constantly shown as a shadow to Kushal where he was handling everything and her duty was to simple pass on the files/documents. Isn’t she supposed to be the badass lawyer ?? I also did not like the fact that after they reconciled, Arundhati started a sort of counselling for her clients where she didn’t take their cases but instead advised them to not divorce. You’re a divorce lawyer so divorce people, just because you got your HEA doesn’t mean you need to shove it down other people’s throats as well.
Kushal was nothing special. He kept yelling how he’s trying to save their marriage and all but the only effort I saw was him trying to seduce her. He did help her when she got cold and was shivering badly so i can’t not mention it. He didn’t have a personality. Actually both the main characters don’t have personalities other than being divorce lawyers. No hobbies, no nothing. I did get emotional hearing Kushal’a childhood story.
It had potential but it wasn’t executed nicely. Also Arundhati getting tired after maybe a week of grovelling was funny like wtf.

DNF 70%
Here's the book in a nutshell:
1st 100 pages: she's filed for divorce
Next 100 pages: he wants to win her back, she doesn't
Next 100 pages: she wants to win him back, he doesn't
Next 100 pages: obviously they get back together
Wasted 300 pages of my life on such a toxic story with LITERALLY NOT A DROP OF ROMANCE
