Rescuing Rose

ROSE COSTELLOE LOVES PROBLEMS...

...other people's that is. As an agony aunt, she adores advising her readers on everything from dizziness to divorce. But Rose is less wise when it comes to her own life...

Her new marriage is in tatters, she's had to move house and the bills are piling up. Her scatty best friends, twins Bella and Bea, make the unusually sensible suggestion that she lets her spare room, and Theo, a quiet accountant with a secret passion, seems to be the perfect lodger.

But just as things are looking up, Rose's universe is thrown into chaos. Her husband reappears, her editor demands 'more sex!' and, worse, she thinks she's being stalked. One person alone seems to grasp what really matters to Rose beneath her prickly exterior. Good as she is at dishing out advice, though, will she be able to take it?
