City Slacker
Synopsis
But this perfect world is turned upside down when her eggs, frozen in her prime and ready to use when the time is right, are accidentally defrosted. If Amanda’s going to have children, she’s going to have to do it as nature intended… and quickly!
Her partner Charles is not into being the stay-at-home father Amanda requires. As the plan certainly doesn't include giving up her hard won career, Amanda needs to find a man who’s willing to sacrifice everything to bring up their baby.
There may be a lot of men out there but none seem to have that magic combination of youth, intelligence, good looks and, crucially, a total lack of ambition – none that is until she meets Dan, who seems to be the perfect city slacker. Perhaps she isn’t strictly honest about her motives, but then, neither is he… And all the while lurking in the background is the vengeful Charles, plotting a very public humiliation for them both.
