Book description
In 'The Red Angora Dress', Milly just knows her boyfriend, the
handsome Andrew, is losing interest in her. So when he invites her to
a glamorous party, she resolves to knock him dead with a killer
outfit. Having blown half her month's wages on a skintight red angora
dress, Milly is dismayed to find that it sheds everywhere - and that
it is rather uncomfortably hot. Then she overhears Andrew chatting up
the party's hostess, and laughing at her - and her outfit - behind her
back. Hurt, heartbroken and humiliated, can anything possibly salvage
Milly's dreadful night?
In 'The Square Peg', despite her best intentions, junior secretary
Penny is a whirlwind of chaos. She's two hours late back from lunch,
mixes up letters, and on one memorable occasion manages to release a
rabbit into the boardroom. It's no wonder that the firm's tough new
MD, Jake McInnes, has it in for her. He might be the heartthrob of the
rest of the typing pool, but Penny is desperate to escape to a new job
with a more easygoing boss. But the job application she sends off has
some rather unexpected consequences...
