BEST SUPPORTING ROLE
Sue Margolis’s “sexy British romp[s]” (USA Today) have captivated readers who enjoy an “irreverent, sharp-witted look at love and dating” (Houston Chronicle). Now she returns with a novel about a suddenly single mom whose life needs a lift.
When her gambling addict husband died, Sarah Green was left penniless—and with two children to raise. Since then, she’s been desperate to keep her professional and personal lives on firm financial footing. And what could be safer than dating an accountant and working at a non-emergency crime help line?
But then Sarah’s aunt dies, leaving Sarah her once famous—now flailing—lingerie shop.

Sue’s hobbies include napping, constantly interfering in her children’s lives, not going out, eating – especially the remains of the previous night’s take-out curry straight from the fridge, and watching made for TV true-life movies in her PJs.
