Sleeping Arrangements: A Novel

by Madeleine Wickham Narrated by Katherine Kellgren

Overview

New York Times bestselling author of the Shopaholic series Sophia Kinsella delivers another fabulously fun tale writing under Madeleine Wickham. Sleeping Arrangements tells the story of two families who are "accidentally" double-booked at the same lavish Spanish villa of a mutual friend.

Chloe needs a holiday. She's sick of making wedding dresses, her partner Philip has troubles at work, and the whole family wants a break. Her wealthy friend Gerard has offered the loan of his luxury villa in Spain--perfect.

Hugh is not a happy man. His immaculate wife Amanda seems more interested in her new kitchen than in him, and he works so hard to pay for it, he barely has time for his children. Maybe he'll have a chance to bond with them on holiday. His old friend Gerard has lent them a luxury villa in Spain--perfect.

Both families arrive at the villa and realize the awful truth--Gerard has double-booked. What no one else realizes is that Chloe and Hugh have a history; and as tensions rise within the two families, old passions resurface. It seems that Gerard's 'accidental' double booking may not be an accident after all...

Read an Excerpt

"What's going on?" said Chloe to Philip. "Is this the right place?"

"It's the right place," said Philip, "but Gerard's cocked up the arrangements. Double-booked all of us. We're just going to phone him now. We won't be long."

"I see," said Chloe. "Well...OK."

There was silence as Philip and Amanda began to walk towards the villa, leaving Hugh still staring at Chloe's averted face. Only when they had disappeared through the door did she turn her head to meet his gaze. Hugh stared back, unable to speak, his heart thumping inside his chest. Rays of afternoon sun were falling through the trees, dappling shadows on her face, making her expression unreadable.

"Hello," she said at last.

"Hello," said Hugh, and cleared hus throat apprehensively. "It's...it's been a long time."
