Description

Janice Gentle, under pressure from her money-obsessed agent, writes delicate, romantic novels with one goal in mind: to make enough money to find the man she loved and lost twenty years ago. But when Rohanne Bulbecker, a successful New York publisher, asks for Janice's help with an extremely marketable idea, it's an opportunity for Janice to abandon her usual predictable genre and try something entirely new . . .

It takes Ms Rohanne Bulbecker, publishing dynamo from New York, to discover the truth when she comes to London to persuade Janice Gentle to Get Sexy . . .
