Naked in Knightsbridge, the debut novel by Nicky Schmidt, is due to be released at the end of November. (And it sounds like a lot of fun!) Here's more...With mounting debts, threats from a crazy landlord and a cleaning business that was going well until she set fire to someone's house, Jools Grand is about to find herself Naked in Knightsbridge. She has to come up with a cunning plan, and fast...
Describing this fast-paced chick lit as 'Bridget Jones meets Shopaholic with an edge,' London Publisher Suzy Brownlee says 'Naked in Knightsbridge takes things that one step too far, which will make you laugh, cringe and gasp, all at the same time!'
Set in London, the novel begins with Jools finding herself perilously close to living on the streets. With a lack of options and an acute sense of desperation, Jools decides to auction herself online for a marriage of convenience. Who knows, she might even find romance...
What Jools isn't banking on is a bidding war for her between two not so eligible bachelors; a wealthy, gay, would-be politician who needs a 'wife' as a cover to win an election and a deranged loner who wants to keep his wife in a newly refurbished basement. At that moment, Jools discovers nothing in life comes without a price.
Author Nicky Schmidt says 'Naked in Knightsbridge takes chick lit to a whole new level. With a high society mother-in-law who encourages Jools to adopt a coke habit in order to fit into her wedding dress, a best friend Mel, who has an obnoxious quasi-French boyfriend and a hot hobo in the mix, this is a book you may miss your tube-stop reading.'
