Book description
Sweet, bookish Neve Slater always plays by the rules. And the
number one rule is that good-natured fat girls like her don't get guys
like gorgeous, handsome William, heir to Neve's heart since
university. But William's been in LA for three years, and Neve's been
slimming down and re-inventing herself so that when he returns, he'll
fall head over heels in love with the new, improved her.
So she's not that interested in other men. Until her sister Celia
points out that if Neve wants William to think she's an experienced
love-goddess and not the fumbling, awkward girl he left behind, then
she'd better get some, well, experience.
What Neve needs is someone to show her the ropes, someone like
Celia's colleague Max. Wicked, shallow, sexy Max. And since
he's such a man-slut, and so not Neve's type, she certainly won't fall
for him. Because William is the man for her... right?
Somewhere between losing weight and losing her inhibitions,
Neve's lost her heart - but to who?
