Dripping with New York glamour, this bestseller will capture the hearts of all those who loved The Devil Wears Prada
Bette gets paid to party …

And she can hardly believe her luck. Gaining VIP access to Manhattan's hottest spots and meeting 'everyone worth knowing' is a million miles away from her old job. Overnight, New York has become her sexy late-night playground.

But quicker than you can say Chanel, Bette turns up in the gossip columns as girlfriend to a notorious British playboy. It's news that delights her new boss – but her friends want to know what's happened to the girl they love, who always had time for nights filled with 80s music, junk food, trashy rom-coms and her mates.

Can Bette say goodbye to the parties and the Prada and step back into the real world – and find a prince who's got a heart to match his charm?
