Gingerbread Husbands

the long version

"Sophie Redlove has a crumbling Gothic mansion to restore, three children to manage, a distraught friend - as well as possums in the laundry at midnight. . She loves her absent husband, Russell, but there's an importunate older man who's after her, a slightly sycophantic younger one, an angel and a Viking on the scene ... What the hell is Russell up to? And what is the story in Sophie's gradually uncovered past that explains her dependence on those mysterious and vulnerable creatures - men?"--Back cover.
