Everybody knows what's best for would-be writer Beth Marston. Her mother wants her to stop cleaning houses for a living and get a proper job--like her successful siblings. Her very married best fried, Fay, who happens to be cheating on that lovely husband of hers, keeps urging Beth to come out for a few beers and meet a nice bloke. Even her eighty-year-old client, Dottie, thinks one ought to experience the world before writing about it. But Beth's just fine the way she is; cleaning houses gives her plenty of time with her young daughter. Anyway, passion just leads to heartache...and single motherhood. Then Beth meets Alex Chapman, the Single Young Executive whose computer she's been secretly using to write her screenplay while she should have been cleaning his ridiculously spotless flat. Suddenly Fay's drivel about desire and destiny...begins to make sense. Alex is everything Beth has ever wanted...except for the fact that he has a wife. Sure, the missus doesn't understand him, but is Beth willing to bend the rules that far? How far should a girl go for love?
