"Laughter is the best medicine"
From Dusty with Love
Out of work actress Dusty Hall, is recruited into His Majesty’s Secret Service and this might be her best role yet! In training she meets Yazmin Khan, the epitome of a walking lethal weapon and a total badass. The two women couldn’t be more different but together they make the perfect duo.
Ready or not, the duo are sent on their first undercover mission: to infiltrate a Moroccan hotelier and suspected arms smuggler, Ahmed Al Sahid. Except there’s a snag, it falls on her sister Coco’s hen weekend. As maid-of-honour it is Dusty’s duty to ensure the bride-to-be has the best hen weekend ever! Coco is not someone you want to disappoint and is far scarier than any deadly, undercover operation. So, Dusty comes up with a cunning plan, to kill two birds with one stone, why not invite all the hens to Marrakech, job done. All she has to do is keep the two worlds apart - what could possibly go wrong?

My Disorganised Life
A viral video of drunkenness and vomiting over a policeman is the stuff of nightmares, and so is living back home with your religious, nutty parents. Fed up with life not going her way and turning quietly insane, Eve Poots comes up with a plan. Well more of a list of “things to do while she's still twenty-something”.
Six months later, and the list is working its power: she is now living with her new boyfriend, junior doctor Adam, and working as an assistant to TV producer Alastair on a reality show – life really is on the up.
But then it all starts to crumble and she soon realises that what the list should have really said was:
1. An awful colleague hell-bent in making her life agonising – check
2. An unplanned engagement – check
3. Lusting for dashing TV director when she has a perfectly decent boyfriend at home - check
4. Seeking help from a sex therapist – check
5. Growing a back-bone - pending
Has her life suddenly turned into a TV melodrama of its own?

When Life Goes Pop!
Warning: This book contains flashing images of a sizzling sexual nature, one night stands, beautiful dresses, various lush locations, unbelievably handsome men, love, and true friendship.
Just as twenty-five year old Poppy Phillpot gets her life back on the right track a massive spanner is thrown into her life - oops - an unplanned pregnancy. But for the love of a patchy memory, who's the daddy?
Rewind three months earlier (or thereabouts)... Poppy has taken charge of her life, dumps the long-term boyfriend (King of Tedium), leaves the daily grind of coffee beans and heads for the Riviera. It's full steam ahead to the glitzy world that is the Festival de Cannes. There she meets a strange foreign entity whilst blagging a new job where her qualifications are questionable. But like all good things it must come to an end, it's just a pity it has to be at such high stakes.

Moving Up On Manolos
"You put high heels on and you change."
- Manolo Blahnik
Many of us (ladies) sit frustrated at home on a dark night with a glass of wine in one hand and a calorific spoon in the other reminiscing over the dreams we once had, Jane Allen is no different on that score.
When her best friend from drama school, the delectable TV heartthrob Alex Canty invites Jane to LA this is her chance to turn her life around. But when a potato sack has more elegance than you it's easy for self doubt to creep in and become a quivering jelly!
With the much needed ego-boost from her machiavellian flatmate Jane blows a hole straight through her credit card and arrives in LA with a designer wardrobe, new haircut and a stunning pair of four-inch Manolo Blahnik heels. Or to put it more precisely wobbles into the terminal, teeters over to passport control and stumbles into the arms of a handsome stranger.
Glamour is not all it's cracked up to be but having the wardrobe certainly is!
