Publisher's Synopsis

From Dior to Dummies...Sophie Mills has worked her Manolo Blahniks off to reach the near-top of her profession. And she's very happy with her priorities in life - her job, her neurotic cat Artemis and her passion for shoes. After all, relationships only get in the way. And as for children? She hasn't even begun to think about them yet. Until one day an unexpected visitor brings news of a strange inheritance and Sophie is suddenly, out of the blue, in sole charge of two children under the age of six. But motherhood can't be all that hard, can it? Within twenty-four hours, her barely-used Chanel No5 bubble bath is nearly empty, her make-up smeared all over the bathroom, her beloved flat reduced to a war zone, Artemis has taken up residence on top of her wardrobe, and Sophie is in despair. And all her unconventional mother can suggest is Dr Roberts' Complete Dog Training and Care Manual. Determined to rise to the challenge, Sophie soon realises that she'll need more than a business plan to cope with all this ...
