AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Every woman wants to be wanted but just not by the entire Metropolitan police force. Maddy Wolfe's first day out with her newborn takes a Kafkaesque turn when she's wrongfully arrested in Harrods for shoplifting. The only person she can turn to is her hot-to-trot ex-lover Alex. Will he prove himself to be as useful as a solar powered vibrator on a rainy day? (Source: Trove)
