Clean Sweep (Formerly Cha Cha Cha)

Alison Waxman Koff has it all €“ a successful husband, a huge house in an upscale Connecticut town and enough designer clothes in her closet to rival an entire floor at Saks. She€s living the Good Life €“ until the stock market crashes and her hubby announces he€s leaving her and going back to Wife #1. What€s a suburban princess to do?

Alison sells her furs and starts doing her own nails. When that€s not enough to keep her mansion from going into foreclosure, she falls back on her one marketable skill: cleaning houses. She€s always been a neat freak and now her little quirk comes in handy; she becomes a maid to a bestselling author of sleazy biographies, who€s in town to dig up dirt on a local luminary.

Between vacuuming carpets and scrubbing toilets, Alison suddenly finds herself the prime suspect in her employer€s murder. Now, in order to get herself off the hook, she must team up with architectural photographer Cullie Harrington, who lives on a sailboat and doesn€t pay any attention to the stock market and offers her the kind of security €“ and passion €“ she€s never known.

Suspense meets romance meets zany social satire in this hilarious novel about love and survival in a tough economy. Alison is a true heroine of our time as she scrambles to keep in step with a changing world €“ and to find love with a man who represents a whole new take on Prince Charming.
