Because she's too busy bringing home the bacon to cook it. On the surface, Alex Hill is every inch the polished, high-flying marketing executive of a global sportswear company. But things are not quite as they appear; she's rushed off her feet with barely enough time to take out the rubbish bins, let alone pull together an amazing product launch.

Then she discovers her Spanish cleaner has been using her flat to turn tricks in the afternoons - and in her bed! And to top things off, her demanding mother has a bad fall, requiring her to move in with Alex indefinitely. With so much to juggle, Alex begins to realise that she needs someone more committed than a cleaner. What she needs is a "wife".

Review:

"This witty, entertaining love story is hard to resist." (Working Mother magazine)

"The winning duo behind the pseudonymous Annie Sanders-Annie Ashworth, and Meg Sanders-puts forth a highly entertaining story, high concept but fleshed out with realistic, contemporary characters of modern London. What sets it apart are the rich inner lives given not just to the lead couple but also to a sampling of their family and friends. . .This book is equal parts funny, thoughtful, and touching, and it's sheer joy to watch all of the characters grow and change, adjusting to fit into their own lives." (Booklist)

"Its title alone should win this frothy fantasy a following among harried gals juggling craven ambition and goddesslike domesticity. . . Delightfully harebrained, there's a method to everyone's madness and an unwavering moral compass: follow your heart, trust your family and friends-and don't be too quick to judge the hired help."

(Publishers Weekly)

"The writing team. . . takes an amusing concept and brings it to life with sympathetic characters and a fast-moving plot. . . Incredibly satisfying--and quite fun." (Romantic Times Book Reviews)

"In the great tradition of British chick lit heroines (see Bridget Jones andShopaholic) comes Alex, a marketing executive with too many meetings and no time to pick up her dry cleaning. When her BFF Saff suggests Alex find a 'wife,' she places a help wanted ad. Struggling actor Frankie Ward replies. Cue the romantic comedy high jinks." (realsimple.com)
