When the drop-dead gorgeous Adam walks in to her cafe, it’s love at first sight, but her friend Trina has been reading The Rules and warns her to play it cool.

Shall We Dance?
‘Was he even twenty-five?? He was half my age and I was dancing with him like some moon-eyed teenager.’
Loulou Landers, London’s undisputed Queen of Vintage Fashion, meets a man on the eve of her dreaded forty-ninth birthday.? He’s kind, he’s sensitive, he’s divinely handsome and he carries a designer suit like George Clooney.? Unfortunately, he’s barely half her age, and Loulou’s just not ready to ‘go cougar’.
Then there is Loulou’s 21-year-old daughter, Theo, who won’t get a job, won’t move out, wears chainstore fashion, and hasn’t said a civil word to her mother for years.? And she is on the verge of her own spectacularly unsuitable affair.
So how will Loulou cope with a daughter who’s off the rails, a man who won’t take no for an answer, an ageing process that won’t slow down – not to mention a birthday party in a camping ground?? Like she always has – with wit, grit and an exemplary sense of style.
Mad About the Boy
Of all the nightmare options that passed through Antonia Heaveringham’s head when her husband Hugo uttered the words, ‘I’ve got something to tell you . . .’, a coming out speech never figured. Suddenly alone in their adopted home of Sydney, with no friends save for her six-year-old son Tom and a pair of jewelled Jimmy Choo mules, Antonia soon finds that an attractive single woman is not nearly so welcome on the champagne social scene as the wife of a glamorous English aristocrat. It is only the arrival of Hugo’s outrageous lavender-haired Uncle Percy that lifts her out of her depression – and propels her into the gym to combat the effects of some serious comfort eating. There she meets the mysterious James, who leads her into a shadowy world of criminals, corruption and high-stakes property deals. But what starts out as a lark leads her into a situation where keeping a secret becomes a matter of life, death – and love.
Everything Changes But You
Home is where the heart is – but what happens to your heart when the people you love are scattered around the world? Hannah and Matt are very happy together, living in London’s cool East End with their two young children. Hannah has a job she loves as a beauty editor and Matt is always just about to break through as a songwriter. But then events start to pull them apart, with Hannah certain they’d be much better off down in the English countryside with her family – and Matt’s mum needing them with her, back in Sydney, 17 000 kilometres away. Hannah’s mother, Marguerite, mends broken china, but can she can repair her damaged marriage? And Matt’s vivacious young cousin, Ali, feels lost, looking for love in a strange city. All of them have unsettling secrets and while some are better shared, others might be best left unspoken – the problem is knowing which are which. In this story of three women’s search for a place to call home, Maggie Alderson crosses continents and generations to explore how we find happiness – and whether love can survive betrayal.
Cents and Sensibility
Stella Fain has a rule for men she likes: make them wait … But the gorgeous Jay proves an exception to the rule when he bowls Stella off her Prada wedges at a press junket on the Cote d’Azur. He might seem to have everything going for him, but Stella is about to realize that there’s only thing worse than having a boyfriend with no money … and that’s having one with too much. Jetset lifestyles can be fabulous, but Stella’s career as a journalist isn’t something she wants to jeopardize for any man, no matter how filthy rich or gorgeous. And then there’s her father – a six-times-married prime slice of Alpha Male with a grudge against inherited wealth … and Jay. There’s no denying money makes the world go round and diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but they don’t make the path to love any easier to tread. With or without the Prada wedges.
