(Hanna Coleman is the fashion editor at trendy Urban Life ...)
Hanna Coleman is the fashion editor at trendy Urban Life magazine. No longer content with chronicling the rise and fall of hemlines, she devises a plan to get her name off the fashion page and onto the cover. Hanna proposes an article on "mansharing" - her answer to the shortage of eligible men in Manhattan. David Stein, her sexy boss, agrees to the idea on one condition: that she write the story from her own experience. So Hanna, happily attached to a wonderful man for the first time in her life, must share him with another woman - and 4 million readers. Realizing that the only woman she can trust with this experiment is her closest friend, Mahelly, she ignores an obvious complication: recently out of a frustrating 14-year marriage, Mahelly is too ready for sex and too vulnerable to handle it without commitment.

Maxine Paetro was born on April 19, 1946, in Maimi, Florida. She is a daughter Samuel P. and Madeline J. Paetro.
Maxine Paetro attended Jacksonville University.
Prior to her success as a novelist, from 1975 through 1987 Paetro worked as a recruiter and EVP creative department manager at several large advertising agencies in New York City. She credits the high-pressure environment of these jobs as providing her with a great foundation as a writer. She met James Patterson when she was an employment agent and he was looking for his first job as a copywriter in advertising.
Maxine Paetro began her writing career with a series of contributions to women's magazines. She graduated to full-length nonfiction with her first book, How to Put Your Book Together and Get a Job in Advertising, a guide for beginners trying to break into the advertising industry. Paetro moved on to fiction with her first novel, Man share, a story about a single woman, Hannah, who works at a major magazine in New York and aspires to become the features editor.
In an attempt to get the promotion, she pitches a story on the shortage of good, single men in the city, only to have her editor demand that her article includes a solution to the dilemma. People contributor Margot Dougherty called the book "a sometimes amusing fantasy of the single yuppie in semi-crisis." Paetro's follow-up efforts, Babydreams and Windfall, tackle similarly light topics, but with a bit of mystery added to the romantic romps.
In 2005, Paetro began writing the "Women's Murder Club" series with noted crime novelist James Patterson. Their first joint effort, 4th of July, finds Lindsay Boxer, a lieutenant in the San Francisco police department, struggling to solve a series of murders while also facing charges of police brutality.

2012Quotations: "My first novels were explorations into my own deeply-felt questions and issues concerning being a single woman in Manhattan. I was successful in business, less successful in love. My three surrogates and heroines, Hannah, Stevie, and Harrie taught me a lot about love, about men, and about how to tell a story that entertains. It was because of these novels that I decided to leave advertising and work as a full-time writer. I'm so glad I made this decision."
Maxine Paetro enjoys gardening. Her garden, named Broccoli Hall, has been featured in many national magazines, including House and Garden, and is on the Garden Conservancy Open Days Program.
Maxine confessed that she is crazy about her fish, an avid koi aficionado. Koi is a decorative carp that’s been bred by the Japanese for hundreds of years. She is trying to get a different coloration of a standard fish. She has mud ponds for the koi and they are part of her gardens at Broccoli Hall, too.
Paetro is married to former surety bond executive, John A. Duffy, the now founder and CEO of consulting company, Manhattan Bridge, LLC.
