About this audiobook
Jade has built a life most people only dream about. She runs successful businesses, raises three children, and knows exactly what she wants. Her life is busy, profitable, and occasionally chaotic, but she isn’t waiting to be rescued. She just needs better systems.
After years of carrying the invisible work of a household, Jade has learned that being capable makes you responsible for everything. The traditional arrangement never worked for her, so she writes her own.
Enter the platonic wife: a woman to share the home, the decisions, and the wealth. No romance. No sex. Just partnership.
Then there’s the Consultant. His job description is considerably shorter. He gets one lane, clear boundaries, and no voting rights in household governance.
On paper, the arrangement is brilliant. Then the humans start being human.
A sharp, sexy, funny novel about family, labor, and what happens when a woman stops forcing her life into a shape that never fit.
