But when her teenage crush-the wealthy, dashing man-about-town Joe Chambers-wants to make her his brides, Alice is more than willing to play Cinderella to Joe's prince.

She tells herself she's happy to sacrifice for love, and besides, with Joe's stunning good looks and high-profile career, every woman in London wants to be in her shoes.


But that's just the problem. And despite Alice's efforts to be the perfect wife, Joe soon reveals a penchant for being hopelessly unfaithful. when a notorius indiscretion with a female colleague forces Joe to transfer to New York, Alice's life turns upside down-and she must decide how much Cinderella she can take, and whether she's ready to find real happiness on her own.

Treated like a maid by her thin and social-climbing roommates, and lorded over by the beautiful Geraldine (less talented but better paid) at the Kilburn Herald, Jemima finds that her only consolation is food. Add to this her passion for her charming, sexy, and unobtainable colleague Ben, and Jemima knows her life is in need of a serious change. When she meets Brad, an eligible California hunk, over the Internet, she has the perfect opportunity to reinvent herself-as JJ, the slim beautiful, gym obsessed glamour girl.

All's well (sort of) until the sudden arrival of a college friend-the stunningly beautiful Portia, who's known for breaking hearts. Her reappearance soon unleashes a rollicking series of events that tests the foursome's friendships to the limit. Fortunately, Cath has plenty to take her mind off Portia's schemes-like her gutsy decision to fulfill her dream of opening a bookstore, and a budding romance with sexy real estate agent James.
