Dashing, dishy and utterly uninterested. No one else can compete.

Lara Fenton is all washed up. Single at 25, she's desperate to find a man, especially since her best friend Julie got engaged. Salvation arrives in the divine form of Hugh Armstrong-Hamilton.

Yes, Hugh has his faults, but who doesn't So what if he never picks up the bill Big deal if he cancels dates at the last moment. And who cares about a few insults from his snooty friends Hugh is a god - her god, and any other man would seem like second prize in comparison. Or would they . . .

“With a marriage of comic invention and some clear-sighted emotional honesty, this novel can move as well as amuse”
