Britt Baxter is unaware of the effect she has on people. A big-hearted, no nonsense northern girl, she naturally looks for the best in everyone she meets, but in her attempts to make it as a model she finds she struggles against being pinned down on the casting couch by the most unlikely people…
So when a happy accident lands her a career as a presenter on breakfast television, it looks as if she has made it out of the modelling world of close-ups and cattle calls and into the big time – or at least daytime TV.
But scarcely has Britt had time to wonder at how far she has come, when backstage machinations propel her with ever increasing speed through a series of trapdoors and she soon realises that the drama backstage far eclipses anything that happens in front of the camera.
‘Fun, sad and packed with glamour and deceit, this brilliantly written read will have you hooked.’ 5*

'Sassy, glamorous and romantic - I curled up and devoured it in one sitting trying to work out if I recognised anyone from the world of TV.'
'Stylish, sexy and fizzing with excitement. What a brilliant fun read.'

'Utterly fantastic chiclit book that makes me laugh, cry, frown and cheer and sometimes all at once! I LOVED IT! A great romance chicklit mixed with celebrity, drama and mystery.'
'I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was incredibly entertaining with lots of glamour and tons of laughs thrown in... It certainly leaves you wondering what bits of the book are fiction and what is fact. I guess we'll never know and part of the fun is trying to work that out for ourselves! I would definitely recommend this as a great read.'
