In the exclusive southern California community of Colina Linda, money means everything. But snagging a man who has money means even more. When billionaire David Clemente files for divorce, his newly single status is the gossip among the ladies-who-lunch. Hot on the chase are four of the town’s most eligible ex-wives: peppy Lally Chandler, a former Bond girl and the queen bee of local society, with three celebrity ex-husbands in her wake; Jessica DiSantini, a lapsed lawyer and mother of two with a nice settlement from her cheating spouse and his precious collection of Cabernet to numb the pain; Caitlin Latch, a desperate-to-fit-in single mom with a body that makes Barbie look like Ken; and locally born and bred Janey Martinez, a dowdy duckling with an extensive pack of socially prominent relations.

Doing whatever it takes to catch the eligible David’s attention and eliminate the competition, each woman is determined to be the first–and the last–to date Mr. (Luxury) Dreamboat.

Which of the four ex-wives will find true love? The answer is revealed in this hilariously funny, sarcastically witty, and deliciously catty novel about the never-ending pursuit of happiness. Translation: an even bigger bank account.
