I’m sooo excited about my brand new book coming out this summer from St. Martin’s! It’s funny, it’s romantic, it’s perfect for the beach, and I love the cover so much I get googly every time I look at it. I hope you love it too.
SINGLE-MINDED by Lisa Daily
Alex has planned and executed her life with laser focus since she first met her future husband at the play-doh table on the first day of kindergarten. They have a terrific life, a gorgeous house on the bay, and fantastic careers they love. There’s only one problem: Alex’s husband has a secret. A big one.
Now, Alex’s perfectly planned life has completely fallen apart, her biological clock is starting to feel like the timer on a nuclear device, and she finds herself drooling over her completely-dreamy-but-definitely-off-limits client, a star chef opening a hot new restaurant.
Armed with dating guidance from her oddball collection of advisers―including her gay ex-husband, a foul-mouthed political consultant, a perkily masochistic yogi, and a pot-smoking octogenarian―Alex navigates the booby-trapped world of modern dating, in her search for a second chance at love.
