Ebury has acquired a "very personal memoir" by the former prime minister's wife Sarah Brown, about her time "behind the Black Door" of 10 Downing Street.
The Random House publisher has world rights, which it bought for an undisclosed sum direct from Brown, as the company has an historical relationship with her. The as-yet-untitled book will be launched for Mother's Day next year, as an £18.99 hardback.
The memoir will cover the personal side of Brown's life as the wife of a prime minister, as well as her work as an international charity campaigner, looking at the way her life changed as she stepped into the public eye.
Fiona MacIntyre, managing director of Ebury, said: "Sarah achieved much in her own right during her time in Downing Street, with opportunities that allowed her to meet a wide range of women of all ages." She added: "People like and admire her, and for many one of the defining images was Sarah leaving Downing Street with Gordon and their two small sons with such grace and dignity."
Ebury has previously published five books in association with Brown's charity PiggyBankKids since 2003.
