Sarah Duncan’s second novel of 2009 (after A Single To Rome), Kissing Mr. Wrong, is released on the 10nd December and the cover has finally been released; I love the bright colours. It will be her fifth novel! Here’s a useless piece of trivia: before turning to writing Sarah was Rodney’s girlfriend – before Cassandra – on Only Fools and Horses! The synopsis for Kissing Mr. Wrong reads:

Alex may write and illustrate books for children, but she’s certain she doesn’t want children of her own, and she definitely isn’t interested in men with baggage – until Gus blows into her life. Gus has more baggage than Terminal 5 – ex-wife, kids and a large dog that leaves hairs over Alex’s favourite trousers.

He’s absolutely not Mr Right, but as he helps Alex trace a strand of her family history, she finds herself being drawn into his chaotic but warm world. But being the wicked step-mother was never a role Alex fancied playing, and she’s not sure that loving Gus will be enough for a happy ever after together…
