About the book

The great Australian dream is slipping away for Keira. No partner, no house, and no kids at 30-ahem. Her part-time job as a nanny to a pair of atrocious twins provides barely enough money for the G&Ts she finds necessary to get through her other job as a freelance copywriter.

When her best friend Dylan is able to buy an apartment with the help of his parents, Keira sees a way out. But what to do with parents whose plans threaten to spend the only lifeline she has? She hatches a deadly plan to speed up the process of wealth transfer.
