Book description
Madeline Wolfe is a mischievous, mutinous, high-rise (the shortest
she'd ever been was 'tall for her age') Aussie redhead, who can open
beer bottles with her teeth and is on first name terms with every
bartender in Bangkok. She's a woman in control of her life, and no man
is ever going to tell her what to do.
So how come she's ended up twelve thousand miles from home, in rainy
London, with no friends, her visa about to expire, with no place to
live - oh, yes, and pregnant?
She fell in love with Alexander Drake, that's how. But she soon
realises that Alex goes through the tunnel of love holding his own
hand. He also has more secrets than MI5. Alex may not be the man she
thought he was, but can she persuade him to be the man she needs him
to be - preferably before the baby arrives?
Kathy Lette first achieved succès de scandale as a
teenager with the novel Puberty Blues, which was made into a
major film and a TV mini-series. After several years as a newspaper
columnist and television sitcom writer in America and Australia, she
wrote ten international bestsellers including Mad Cows (which
was made into a film starring Joanna Lumley and Anna Friel), How to
Kill Your Husband and Other Handy Household Hints (recently
staged by the Victorian Opera, Australia), and To Love, Honour and
Betray. Her novels have been published in fourteen languages
around the world. Kathy appears regularly as a guest on the BBC and
Sky News. She is also an ambassador for Women and Children First, Plan
International and the White Ribbon Alliance. In 2004 she was the
London Savoy Hotel's Writer in Residence. In 2010 she received an
honorary doctorate from Southampton Solent University.
Kathy lives in London with her husband and two children. Visit her
