Billionaire David Clemente is back on the market and it
takes no fewer than approximately three seconds for the ex-
wives of Colina Linda, California, to find out. With their
impeccably manicured claws out, each will vie for the prime
position as trophy wife number...well really, who's
counting?
Contestant number one: Jessica DiSantini. Recently divorced
from her neurosurgeon husband of 16 years, it's been one
blow after another during the last few months. Not only did
her husband leave her for one of his brain surgery
patients, she's pregnant with his twins and his new
marriage is only a week away. If that wasn't soul-crushing
enough, Michael is also threatening to lower his alimony
payments and wants to buy out her mortgage so that their
children "won't feel displaced," but effectively turning
her out on her Prada clad rear. David sounds like a pretty
good rebound right about now.
Contestant number two: Lally Chandler, former Bond girl
(and not even a memorable one at that) and thrice divorced,
is looking for a new man to sink her teeth into. Hoping to
snag David before her Botox wears out and her true age
shows, Lally does her best to manipulate everyone in her
incestuous circle to close the trap on David.
Contestant number three: Caitlin Latch is a single mom
living on the skirts of Colina Linda. Working for a rape
crisis center and merely passing for rich and fabulous,
Caitlin hopes to win David over with her good looks, street
smarts and a few little white lies.
Contestant number four: Janey Martinez. Known for her
amazing contacts and her powers of gossip, Janey is the
most connected person in Colina Linda. Although her plain
features are nothing to write home about, with a little
help from Lally and her new dermatologist, Janey is the new
hottest body in the area. Will that be enough to catch
David's eye?
Snarky and catty, TO CATCH A HUSBAND shows the dark and
desperate side of dating in Southern California. Fans of
the BBC hit Footballers' Wive$ and The
Bachelor will enjoy this first book in the Ex-Wives
series by Lindsay Graves.
In the exclusive southern California community of Colina
Linda, money means everything. But snagging a man who has
money means even more. When billionaire David Clemente
files for divorce, his newly single status is the gossip
among the ladies-who-lunch. Hot on the chase are four of
the town’s most eligible ex-wives: peppy Lally Chandler, a
former Bond girl and the queen bee of local society, with
three celebrity ex-husbands in her wake; Jessica
DiSantini, a lapsed lawyer and mother of two with a nice
settlement from her cheating spouse and his precious
collection of Cabernet to numb the pain; Caitlin Latch, a
desperate-to-fit-in single mom with a body that makes
Barbie look like Ken; and locally born and bred Janey
Martinez, a dowdy duckling with an extensive pack of
socially prominent relations.
Doing whatever it takes to catch the eligible David’s
attention and eliminate the competition, each woman is
determined to be the first–and the last–to date Mr.
(Luxury) Dreamboat.
Which of the four ex-wives will find true love? The answer
is revealed in this hilariously funny, sarcastically
witty, and deliciously catty novel about the never-ending
pursuit of happiness. Translation: an even bigger bank
account.
