Stay At Home mom and put-upon daycare provider Janie Hadley rarely gets a moment to herself never mind an entire night out, so when she's invited to a concert featuring the famous singer/actor Billy Smitts, Janie isn't looking for much more than a modicum of Tanqueray and a whole lot of letting-loose fun. But the morning after, Janie finds herself to be plus a killer hangover and minus a wallet. As our headachy heroine frantically calls to cancel her credit cards, the perpetrator stalks her to her house and shows up at her door with his famous, multi-million dollar smile and a dubious business proposition. Billy Smitts is on location for a few months and has run dry of twenty year old blonde, big-boobed nannies for his daughter. Much to Janie's dismay, Billy Smitts uses his trademark boyish charm as well as his enormous, ahem, buying power to manipulate his way past her protests and into her daycare.
Forced to "play nice" in front of the kids on a daily basis, a contentious friendship develops between the notorious celebrity and the Mrs. Perfect mom. Billy and Janie, the two most unlikely of allies, soon begin to realize that despite what the Outside World may believe, neither of them really does have it all, and the harrowing experiences they share cause them both to call into question whether they are better off facing life together, or apart.
Turning a tried and true romance novel premise on its ear, Sarah Phelan tells "Stay At Home" as a sweetly personal, intensely sexy, provocatively smart and brutally honest story where love refuses to play by the rules and how "happily ever after" doesn't always mean the same thing to everyone. |
