Martine McCutcheon (star of Love Actually) has finally found a publisher for her debut novel, The Mistress. Pan Books will publish Martine's book at the end of May next year. Said to be the first of a trilogy it is rumoured in The Daily Express to be directly based on her own experiences with a certain chef...
The second title is called The Actress and Martine will be writing the books herself. The book might not be out until half way through next year, but I have found the synopsis on Amazon. It's over the cut.
Mandy is turning 30 and has a lot of love to give, but that special person has so far eluded her. Then, at her birthday party with close friends at the Wolseley, Cupid strikes from across a crowded room. It's love at first sight, but Jake, the man she's fallen for, is happily married. Mandy is determined to stick to her principles and not enter into such dangerous territory, but her resistance is to prove futile. But can she make it as a mistress? Can it work for someone to love two people? A romance with a twist, "The Mistress", has an unusual, modern take on what women want. It's a warm, fun, highly commercial novel by one of Britain's best-loved actresses.
