Love, romance, marriage, and a dark little secret. Shh … Small things let loose can grow out of hand. Ruth Roth's new husband can't keep it in. If only he had all those years ago, things might be different now. His big mouth sends every family member into hell. Except for Ruth's late mother. She blows in from there. Seems the woman just won't die. Or let up. Faaaark! As if Mama's earbashing isn't enough, everyone else needs a scapegoat. Ruth is it. Somehow, this mess is her fault. With everything falling apart, she feels overwhelmed. Until a hunky celebrity pants man-who clearly wants to get into hers-befriends her and makes her feel all warm and fuzzy. At the same time, an educated silicone seductress has designs on hubby. Temptation abounds. But it's overshadowed when a startling discovery throws Ruth and her man into uncharted waters, and life comes crashing down. Ruth has survived plenty with the help of her friends. And as a writer, her wry wit, dirty muse, and a bent for ancient mythology have sustained her. This, though, might be her undoing.
Autorenporträt
Paula Houseman was once a graphic designer. But when the temptation to include 'the finger' as part of a logo for a forward-moving women's company proved too much, she knew it was time to give away design. Instead, she took up writing. She found she was a natural with the double entendres (God knows she'd been in enough trouble as a child for dirty wordplay). As a published writer of earthy chick lit and romantic comedy, Paula gets to bend, twist, stretch, and juice up universal experiences to shape reality the way she wants it, even if it is only in books. But at the same time, she can make it more real, so that her readers feel part of the sisterhood. Or brotherhood (realness has nothing to do with gender). Through her books, Paula also wants to help the reader escape into life and love's comic relief. And who doesn't need to sometimes? Her style is a tad Monty Pythonesque because she adores satire. It helps defuse all those gaffes and thoughts that no one is too proud of. Paula lives in Sydney, Australia with her husband. No other creatures. The kids have flown the nest and the dogs are long gone.
