Monday to Friday Man: The engaging, funny and heartwarming bestseller you've not discovered yet!

by Alice Peterson

Overview

What do you do if you're 34 and recovering from being jilted two weeks before your wedding day?

While friends are marrying, having children and moving to the depths of the countryside, Gilly Brown finds herself alone in London with just her little dog Ruskin for company.

It's time to move on, so on a friend's advice she looks for a lodger, a Monday to Friday one, and finds handsome television producer Jack Baker.

Gilly falls for Jack's charm and is transported into an exciting social whirlwind of parties, dining out and glamour. When Jack is introduced to Gilly's family and friends, it's only the attractive and eccentric Guy, the newest recruit in the dog walking group, who isn't quite so convinced about Jack's intentions.

As Guy watches them grow closer, his suspicions of Jack and his feelings for Gilly deepen.

Is Jack so perfect after all… and what exactly does he get up to at the weekends?

About the Author

Alice has published two non-fiction books, and ten novels, including the critically-acclaimed A Song for Tomorrow, and the No. 1 Kindle bestselling title Monday to Friday Man. Her writing is funny, romantic, powerful and emotional. At the heart of each novel is a love story but Alice always includes hard-hitting and thought-provoking themes within her storylines, based on her own experience of a professional tennis career cut short at the age of 18 when diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.

Alice is currently living in West London, and training to be a psychotherapist. Her favourite thing in the world is walking her beloved Lucas Terrier, Mr Darcy, in the park.

Growing up, Alice was always known to family and friends as, ‘Alice, the tennis player’. Aged 18, she was on the verge of signing a tennis scholarship to America, but fate had other ideas. She began to experience pain in her right hand, which then developed into rheumatoid arthritis - an autoimmune condition which has been life-changing in every way.
Alice’s writing career began in her early 20s, encouraged by a friend who believed she might find it therapeutic to process the loss of her tennis and old life. Alice’s books are infused with her experience of adversity and grief, and the love, support and friendship she has received. This all finds its way on to the page, along with a lovely dose of humour.
Alongside Alice’s writing, she is now a fully qualified psychotherapist. This was something she always wanted to do as she never forgot her first counsellor, who helped her to rebuild her life after her diagnosis.
Finally, Alice loves dog walking, a glass of white wine and winning a game of cards. At heart, she will always be competitive. ‘Alice the tennis player’ is still in her, seen in her courageous fighting spirit.
