A Nanny for Harry (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Kali Miller hasn't even given birth to her first baby when doctor-husband Matt 'helpfully' hires a live-in nanny. Britta is svelte, blonde and Swedish enough to make any new mother insecure, especially one who looks and feels as ginormous post-delivery as she did before baby Harry was born. But a nanny means Kali can go back to work at her law firm where she is desperate to make partner; the Millers' house will be cleaned, their meals healthy and fresh and little Harry safe and happy with a loving caregiver. But Britta's idea of cooking is fiskpinnar (fish sticks) in the microwave; she leaves messy blonde hairballs between the sofa cushions and has whispered conversations with Matt, with whom she has some sort of mysterious past. Exhausted, confused and paranoid-with a disgruntled client out to get her for a deal gone bad, and her law partners viewing her more as a liability than partnership material-Kali is determined to find out: just who is this Britta Edvardsson? And what does she want with Matthew Miller… and little baby Harry?

Autor

Sylvia Mulholland was born and raised in a small town in Canada. After high school, she attended Ontario College of Art & Design, then the University of Toronto and finally, the University of Ottawa, where she obtained her law degree. For many years she practiced law, as a partner in a multi-national Toronto-based firm, then gave it all up and moved to Los Angeles where she obtained her MFA from American Film Institute and was awarded the prestigious Sloan Foundation Fellowship for her screenplay Mrs. Einstein about the physicist, Mileva Maric. She then worked for E! Entertainment as a staff writer on True Hollywood Story and later, for Fox Filmed Entertainment. Not making much progress as a screenwriter, Sylvia grit her teeth and returned to that jealous mistress The Law. She passed the fearsome California Bar exam in 2006, and since then has practiced intellectual property law (specializing in trademarks and copyright law) with her own offices in Los Angeles and Toronto and continues to write. Sylvia was published extensively in Canada's national Globe & Mail newspaper: a popular series called The Working Woman, about women who juggle career and family. Her debut novel, Woman's Work was published in the UK (Hodder & Stoughton), Canada (General) and Germany (Goldmann) followed by her second novel, Lingerie Tea. Twenty years later, Sylvia realized that the messages and women's stories, conveyed by both early novels, still resonate today and that not that much has changed for women. Both novels have now been re-written and updated. A Nanny for Harry is available on Amazon as a Kindle book and in paperback, and Sisters in Law will be available in October of 2018. She is currently working on a legal thriller, entitled Six Blade Knife. As a woman working in the highly competitive field of law, raising two children and pursuing a writing career, Sylvia knows well the challenges of trying to do it all. In her novels and shorter pieces, she writes with humor and empathy about women, work, the legal profession, marriage and family life.
