My Husband’s Sweethearts
Lucy Shoreman discovers in one fell swoop not only that her husband, Artie, has been cheating on her, but that his heart is failing and he’s dying. So in a drunken moment she takes his little black book and dials up all his former lovers, asking them to schedule their turn caring for him on his death bed. After all, they were there for the good times, so why should she deal with the bad times on her own?

The last thing she expects is that any will actually show up. But one by one they do. The one who hates him. The one who owes her life to him. The one he turned into a lesbian, and the one he taught to dance. And amongst them is one person with the strangest story of all …

But when an old college boyfriend, the irrepressible Elliot Hull, invites himself back into Gwen's life with a surprising proposition, she suddenly starts questioning everything she's ever expected from love.

Elliot, it turns out, is in need of a pretend wife, just for the weekend, in order to fulfill his dying mother's last wish. But as Gwen finds herself drawn into Elliot's quirky, wonderful family - and uncovers a few secrets about her own - a pretend relationship just might turn out to be the most real thing she's ever known...
