Jennifer Hunter is prepared to go all the way —well, almost. 

For the past two years, she has been working undercover as a “fidelity inspector,” hired by suspicious wives and girlfriends to test the faithfulness of the men in their lives. As she explains to her clients, “I don’'t initiate anything. I only follow his lead.” Working under the code name “Ashlyn,” Jennifer has exposed hundreds of unfaithful husbands, fiancés and boyfriends. Of course, she never actually sleeps with any of them; she tests for an intention to cheat only. But while Ashlyn may be changing the lives of countless women for the better, Jen’s real life is quickly starting to unravel. Keeping her friends and family from finding out what she really does on all those “business trips” is proving more difficult every day and a string of unfortunate incidents leads her to believe that her secret identity is about to be exposed. 

Just when it seems like nothing is going her way, Jen meets a man who makes her think it may be time to retire Ashlyn willingly, for the sake of true love. But before she gives up her double life for good, she decides to take on one last assignment—a job which will change everything.

There are a few places screenwriter Lou Calabrese would rather be than crammed into a helicopter with Jack Townsend, star of her claim to fame, Copkiller, and whose ex just ran off with Lou's ex. Talk about uncomfortable. But when, halfway out to the isolated arctic location where Copkiller IV is currently shooting, their pilot turns murderous and their helicopter crashes, Lou realizes her day has just gotten a lot worse.

Now, while family and friends back home fret over her disappearance, Lou is on the run in the arctic wilderness with America's sweetheart Jack Townsend and only the contents of her purse, his pockets, and their mutual knowledge of survival movie trivia to keep them alive. Can these two children of Hollywood put aside their differences and make it back home without killing each other? Or much, much worse, actually start to like one another?

Birdie Lee is an average, divorced mother of two teenagers, until the day she's confronted by a Stain of Unusual Origin. Determined to rid her house of this vile menace, she accidentally loads all the household cleaners she owns into the reservoir of her Swiffer WetJet--and passes out.

When she wakes up, life as she knows it will never be the same again.

Will she manage it? Will she battle the evil villain with one hand and patch up her teenaged daughter's broken heart with the other? And most importantly - will she ever manage to fight crime while wearing high heels?

Warm, witty and full of heart, CONFESSIONS OF SUPER MOM is a triumph for overwhelmed mothers everywhere.
