In "Looking for a Husband," we meet young Alicia, a young woman who knows how to enjoy life. She's traveled the world, loves to party, and is crazy about her grandfather, a successful and wealthy businessman, who is her only family.
But her plans to continue living a carefree life come to a sudden end. Her beloved grandfather dies, and Alicia must deal not only with the sadness of his loss but also with the terms of his will.
Her life begins to turn upside down when she learns that her beloved grandfather has excluded her from the inheritance, claiming that his granddaughter is not mature enough to take over his empire - unless, of course, she is properly married.
She refuses to marry, is perfectly content being single, and intends to stay that way. The will also states that Alicia has a lifetime position available at her grandfather's company, so she decides to work and not submit to the conditions of marriage. However, with her assistant position, she can't even afford gas for her Porsche. Furthermore, her coworkers are becoming increasingly hostile.
Tired of the small difficulties she encounters every day, Alicia decides to circumvent the will with a crazy and audacious plan, placing an ad in the newspaper looking for a husband for hire.
Several candidates respond, but only one of them will be able to make Alicia's heart beat faster, transforming her life in ways she never imagined.
Full of humor, passion, and intense adventures, Looking for a Husband has incredible, well-developed characters who evolve emotionally throughout the story. You're sure to be hooked until the very last page.
