Wife for Hire

Book excerpt: Sam knew she was a model wife, a prize wife, the kind of wife men secretly wished they had. But now Jeff wanted to leave her for someone else. When she was a little girl, all Samantha Driscoll ever wanted was to be somebody's wife. She would marry a man called Tod or Brad and she would have two blond children, one boy, one girl. But instead she married a Jeff, had three children, and he's just confessed to having an affair. Sam's life purpose crumbles before her eyes. How could this have happened to her? Spurred on by an eclectic bunch of girlfriends and her nutty sister Max, she finds the job she was born for: Wife for Hire. Sam handles the domestic affairs, and acts as personal shopper and social coordinator, for many satisfied customers. However when Hal Buchanan is added to her client list, but claims not to need her, Sam realises that while she can organise many things in life, she is not so businesslike when her emotions are involved.
