If you’re going to step on people on your way to the top, you might as well do it in stilettos . . . . . . Or so she’s been told. Lucy Butler, former wallflower, lands her dream job working for her idol, world-famous fashion photographer Stefano Lepres. But in a world where getting doused in coffee for not getting the order right is the new normal, she isn’t getting any closer to her ideal of being behind the camera herself.Then a superstar actress generously takes Lucy under her wing and teaches her the ways of the rich and famous—treating her to racks of designer clothes and introducing her to a life of private planes and penthouse suites. Soon Lucy is dating a rock star, attending the hottest Hollywood parties, and dressing the part.Lost in the luxury, she loses sight of the things that once mattered most. It’s going to take a hard blow from the high life to send Lucy back to the real life she always wanted.From an industry insider—and featuring wardrobes personally selected by celebrity stylist Robert Verdi—this is a novel that will keep you guessing and introduce you to a world you know exists; you’ve just never seen it unretouched.From BooklistLucy Butler, armed with her new BFA in photography, moves to L.A. for an internship with world-renowned photographer Stefano Lepres. She finds an apartment with her best friend and a requisite gay roommate, discovers designer clothes, and befriends the most famous actress in the world, Isabella Blackstone. She also develops a coke habit, alienates her normal-person best friend, hangs out with a socialite who doesn’t really care about her, and makes out with a rock star who also doesn’t care. Don’t worry, she learns who her true friends are. And she kicks the drugs pretty handily. In this pointless coming-of-age story, where the supposedly innocent heroine gets her final revenge with a petty and opportunistic act, it appears that Lucy learned her lessons well, after all. Her consistently stupid decisions will be stressful to any reader with common sense, and the Narnia allusion in the title doesn’t play out. But if you want a book where an alleged frump name-drops Marc Jacobs and Jimmy Choo, you’re in luck. Be forewarned: she throws a Hermes scarf into the sea at the end. --Susan Maguire About the AuthorAllie Kingsley began her career in Hollywood working with the boldest names in fashion and entertainment.

Home, sweet home... Joy Cartier has been to some of the most beautiful places in the world – but none of them have ever felt like home. So moving into a tiny cottage in the idyllic village of Bramble Hill, walking distance from her childhood home, seems like the perfect plan. That is, until she gets there. The surly inhabitants of Britain's Friendliest Village are anything but welcoming. Even her neighbour, reclusive Hollywood star Finn Mackenzie, takes one look at her and walks in the other direction. But when the village animosity steps up a gear, it is the infuriatingly brooding Finn who keeps coming to her rescue. Slowly Joy begins to realise that maybe a happy home isn't about where you live, but who you're with... Views: 57
You'd think twenty-seven years would be enough time to wise up to the rules of love and loss, especially Rule Number 1: Do not, at any time, let him see how much he has hurt you.But no, Izzy Keegan was probably off doing sambuca shots when that lesson was taught. So, starting with public humiliation (that infamous blow-up with her Ex and his new woman... huge mistake), and taking in temporary insanity, rebound sex, and a night in a police cell along the way, Izzy has to make up her own rules for coping with heartbreak.Luckily she has friends who are there for her through thick and thin (even if 'doing an Izzy' is their new shorthand for completely losing it). And she's got her foot in the door of the film business (though dogsbody wasn't exactly the job she dreamt of doing). Now, all she has to do is put the dirty cheating love-rat behind her.You'd think twenty-seven years would be enough time to wise up to the rules of love and loss. Make that twenty-seven and a bit...

Most women have them: those two very distinct, very different voices in their mind. One can usually be chalked up to common sense, the other to mischief, mayhem or just plain morbid curiosity. Both are always there, though, ready with their two cents worth.Jemma Keith is no exception to the rule. She doesn't have a problem agreeing to photograph her cheating ex-boyfriend's wedding. The dilemma, however, is what to do once she gets there. Common sense feels like taking the high road; she can handle being the better person. Mischief wants to slither in, crashing the whole affair down around his worthless ankles.What's a woman to do when she can't make up her mind?At least both sides are in complete harmony about the bride's cousin, Anthony Giovanni: he's hot, handsome, and oh, so tempting.
