Ask for Clare



1. Accidentally Engaged -- Mary Carter

Psychic Clair Ivars has a flair for reading tarot cards, yet a blind spot when it comes to predicting her own future - especially matters of the heart. Which might explain why she's surprised to find herself engaged to vodka magnate Jack Heron after knowing him for a few hours.

What it doesn't explain however, is an increasingly strange series of events, from the car that off-roads of its own accord, the appearance of Jack's fairy-tale castle - and Clair's potential mother-in-law, who's hiding one hell of a family secret. And it definitely doesn't explain the way Clair keeps thinking about Jack's business partner - the mysterious and infuriatingly sexy Mike...

2. Hysterical Blondeness -- Suzanne Macpherson

Patricia Stillwell isn't satisfied with her looks. She leads a happy life, living with her friends Pinky and Paul. But Patricia wants to be noticed by Brett Nordquist, the son of the owner of the upscale department store where she works. To lose weight fast, she signs up for a trial study involving a drug that has an unexpected side effect: her hair turns platinum everywhere on her body.

Now a "natural" blond, Patricia has that glamorous look that makes men stare and women glare. Brett asks her out and promotes her to the fine jewelry counter. But her faithful roommate, Paul, finds that his friendship has turned to love and vows that she'll never marry her rich playboy. Macpherson's tale of friendship and loyalty is filled with witty repartee and cinematic references, and the three main characters are exceptional. Funny, poignant, and clever, this story of an ugly duckling who was a much better person before she became a swan demonstrates that metamorphosis isn't necessarily beneficial and that beauty can be highly overrated.

3. True Love (and other lies) -- Whitney Gaskell

Travel writer Claire Spencer doesn't believe in fate, much less any part of that fairy tale, happy ending, love at first sight stuff. Especially not for Amazon-sized women like her. So when Jack, the sexy man who sits next to her on a flight from New York to London, asks her out, Claire figures there has to be a catch. Is he blind? Sleazy? On the rebound? But she decides to accept, and finds herself smitten and a little frightened at how happy she is with how fast things are moving.

While in London (on assignment for Sassy Seniors! magazine), Claire is also looking forward to seeing her best friend, Maddy, one of those impossibly gorgeous, if-I-didn't-love-her-I'd-hate-her women who's got everything in the world going for her--except that, for the first time in her trouble-free life, Maddy has just been dumped...by Jack. Claire's finally met what seems to be the perfect guy, and now the only way she can have him is by betraying her best friend. It's almost enough to make Claire believe in Fate, but if Fate does exist, it seems intent on screwing her over.

4. Living Next Door to Alice -- Marisa Mackle

Tanya Thomson is sure the man of her dreams is about to propose....

Eddie has a proposition but it's not marriage. Turns out he wants Tanya to move in with him. That's still a good thing, right? Well... yes, until they end up living next door to Eddie's old flame and supermodel (!!!) Alice Adams. A supermodel who seems super-set on being a super-bitch to Tanya. When weird things start happening, Tanya's convinced that Alice is behind them. But it seems, in Eddie's eyes, Alice can do no wrong. Now Tanya's wondering if she's made the right move...

5. Memoirs -- Swan Adamson

3. But when the boss asks you to cover her column, do not, repeat do not, prove to be better at writing about sex than she is...
4. ...And when one day you accidentally hit it off a little too well with Susanna's latest ex-toy-boy, sexy writer Josh O' Connell, keep this information very secret from her...

In the bestselling tradition of The Devil Wears Prada, this wicked and hilarious novel will bring you into the world of a sexy, funny, badly behaved girl who's truly a heroine for our times!
