Meet
Annie Valentine: stylish, savvy, multi-tasker extraordinaire.
As a personal shopper in a swanky London fashion store, Annie can re-style
and re-invent her clients from head to toe. In fact, this super-skilled
dresser can be relied on to solve everyone's problems ...except her own.
Although she's a busy single mum to stroppy teen Lana and painfully shy
Owen, there's a gap in Annie's wardrobe - sorry, life - for a new man.
But finding the perfect partner is turning out to be so much trickier than
finding the perfect pair of shoes. Can she source a genuine classic? A life
long investment? Will she end up with a mistake from the sale rail, who'll
have to be returned?
Or maybe, just maybe, there'll be someone new in this season who could be
the one ...

A
NOVEL ABOUT LOVE, SEX, BUSINESS AND BABIES
Bella Browning is attractive, successful and ambitious. She works hard,
plays hard and adores her journalist husband Don (even though she doesn’t

missing...a baby.
Don is terrified by the prospect but after all, she’s a top Management Consultant
turning around multi-million pound corporations... she can handle this!
Can’t she?
In between bouts of morning sickness, raging hormones and a few indiscretions

to be beaten...

***THE SEXY AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING NEW NOVEL FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR***
From her own Garden of Eden in East London, Eve runs operation Super Mother.
A disastrously early marriage led to her spending her early twenties playing
the perfect stockbroker-belt wife, but now she has reinvented herself as
a groovy, ultra-modern mother of four.
After busy days at work, she runs home to her oasis to cook organic meals
for her youngest Anna, nine, and Robbie, two, and still finds times to pursue
her passions - squeezing into the lotus position, creating the perfect garden
and wearing an economy wardrobe with an unerringly funky twist.
But Eve has questions, too. Is she getting too old to buy her clothes at
Top Shop and dye her hair pink? Are gladioli really back in fashion? Is
there anything in the fridge for supper? And, more importantly, did she
let the love of her life, the smoulderingly sexy Joseph, get away too easily?

the pages.” - Heat
"It’s my favourite of the year so far" - The Daily Record

Five
years of IVF still haven't brought Pamela and Dave the baby they long for.
Their marriage is now so rocky they need hiking boots and crampons just
to negotiate dinner. So they probably shouldn't be moving out of London
for office-bound softie Dave to follow his dream of running an organic strawberry
farm. Especially as out there in the countryside is devastatingly handsome
farmer, Laclan Murray.
While Dave takes up chanting and becomes obsessed with manure, Pamela wonders
if she should escape to Lachlan's Land Rover. Although there's Lachlan's
wife, Rosie, to consider. Her London friends think she's gone insane, but
they don't know how far Pamela is prepared to go to have a baby.
