¿Se ha tomado alguien su presentación en sociedad con menos entusiasmo que Sabrina? Afortunadamente, la dama más pretendida de Londres ha ofrecido su respaldo a esta encantadora joven de campo para ayudarla a superar los obstáculos y peligros que entraña este importantísimo primer baile. El gallardo escocés Duncan MacTavish está aún menos entusiasmado por ir a Londres. Poco tiempo después de saber que es el único heredero de un marqués inglés, Duncan se ve ahora obligado a asumir los títulos y las propiedades de su abuelo, así como a casarse con la mentora de Sabrina, una mujer de belleza arrebatadora pero lengua viperina, que ha hecho mordaces comentarios sobre el "bruto escocés" con quien habrá de contraer matrimonio. Su compromiso no deseado, no obstante, permitirá a Duncan acercarse a la encantadora Sabrina, con quien congenia de inmediato... y cuya esencia es del material con el que están tejidos sus sueños. Pero el deber, la posición social y un secreto del pasado prohiben la unión que tanto desea, a menos que el verdadero amor pueda hallar milagrosamente el camino.

"To say that Babs has been my closest friend for sixteen years is rather like saying that Einstein was good at sums. We were blood sisters from the age of eleven (before my mother prized the razor out of Babs's hand)." But now Babs, noisy and as fun as a day at the beach, is getting married. And Natalie Miller, twenty-seven, senior press officer for the London Ballet, panics. What happens when your best friend pledges everlasting love to someone else? It doesn't help that Nat is dating a guy named Saul Bowcock. As the confetti flutters, her good-girl veneer cracks, and she falls into an alluringly unsuitable affair that spins her crazily out of control. Nat is on the rebound and allergic to the truth—about Babs's relationship, her boyfriend's ambition, her parents' divorce, and her golden-boy brother's little Australian secret. Her mother's lasagna and her roommate Andy's fuzzy slippers are also monstrous affronts. But what Nat really needs to face is the mirror—and herself . . . . Wickedly witty and refreshingly honest, Running in Heels is a hilarious look at the lies we tell ourselves—and the unwanted truths that only our best friends can tell us.

Helen Bradshaw, 26, has a lot to get over. Her flatmate Luke has the tact of a traffic warden with toothache, her friend Tina is in love with her new man, her landlord Marcus is in love with himself, and, after the tequila incident, it looks as though Tom the vet will be sticking to Alsatians.

From the bestselling author of The First Wives Club and Bestseller, a witty social satire of love, marriage, and the games men and women play with each other. Sylvie knows she has a lot to be thankful for. So what if her husband, Bob, is only interested in what she has to say 'in four words or less'? The kids are off to college, and she is sure her marriage is about to bloom again. In fact it has already, but not with her. When Sylvie confronts Bob's mistress, she is amazed: except for a gap of ten years and fifteen pounds, Marla could be Sylvie's twin. But while Sylvie wants passion and romance, Marla just wants a husband of her own. And so their scheme is hatched: a nip and tuck and some blonde highlights for Sylvie, some brown hair and a few extra pounds for Marla, and the women are ready to switch places. The result as they juggle their new lives and identities is hilarious and enlightening. But just how long can they keep their charade going, and will it all end in tears?
