The Wonderbra Manoeuvre

By Aidan Francis Carr

Saoirse Fitzgerald, a glamorous Dublin-based executive in the high-fashion world, globe-trots her way through life. At 39, she's acutely aware of her ticking biological clock, and a looming legal deadline threatens to derail her long-delayed ambition of starting a family.
Julian Bracken, a flamboyant and well-respected doctor, privately grieves the loss of his wife and unborn child.
When Saoirse and Julian find themselves staying at the same Mayfair hotel, Saoirse, emboldened by her PA Aoife, resolves to seduce Julian. What begins as a contrived encounter blossoms into a genuine love affair as they confide in each other, realizing they share the same hopes and dreams.
However, their plans for a happy future are brutally interrupted when Julian is accused of sexual assault, voyeurism involving a teenage model, and a further sexual assault on a theatre nurse.
Referred to the General Medical Council, Julian learns from his legal team that the GMC case is being prosecuted by Connie Cornwall QC, a fierce and tenacious barrister known as the 'ice-maiden' who rarely loses. To make matters worse, if his case goes poorly, he will face criminal charges and a lengthy prison sentence. His reputation, career, and liberty hang in the balance as his lawyers battle against a determined and clever opponent.
The Wonderbra Manoeuvre is a modern love story with an utterly unpredictable ending. It explores themes of self-belief, loyalty, commitment, and the consequences of keeping secrets that would have been better shared.
