How I Stole Her Husband

Alison Bell, 28, is barely getting by as a temp in Dallas when she spots an ad for what just might be an ideal job for her: working as a nanny for a rich family, with a possible relocation to New York in the near future. But when Alison goes in for the interview, she is horrified to discover the rich woman she'd be working for is none other than her high-school rival, Pepper McClintock, who is now married to Spence Smith, Alison's high-school boyfriend, whom Pepper stole from her. Alison reluctantly takes the job at Pepper's insistence and finds it fraught with difficulties. Pepper and Spence's daughter is a nightmare and seems to despise Alison, and all of Alison's old feelings for Spence are reignited when she sees him again, causing her to overlook the sweet guy who is interested in her. An entertaining read, especially for twenty- and thirtysomethings who aren't where they thought they'd be, career- and romancewise.
