FICTION JUNE 2018 THE NEW NOVEL FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA EMILY’S BACK! Let’s be clear: Emily Charlton, Miranda Priestly’s ex- assistant, does not do the suburbs. She’s working in Hollywood as an image consultant to the stars, but recently, Emily’s lost a few clients. She’s hopeless with social media. The new guard is nipping at her heels. She needs a big opportunity, and she needs it now. Karolina Hartwell is as A-list as they come. She’s the former face of L’Oreal. A mega-supermodel recognised the world over. And now, the gorgeous wife of the newly elected senator from New York, Graham, who also has his eye on the presidency. It’s all very Kennedy-esque, right down to the public philandering and Karolina’s arrest for a DUI – with a Suburban full of other people’s children. Miriam is the link between them. Until recently she was a partner at one of Manhattan’s most prestigious law firms. But when Miriam moves to Greenwich and takes time off to spend with her children, she never could have predicted that being stay-at-home mom in an uber-wealthy town could have more pitfalls than a stressful legal career. Emily, Karolina, and Miriam make an unlikely trio, but they desperately need each other. Together, they’ll navigate the social landmines of life in America’s favourite suburb on steroids, revealing the truths — and the lies — that simmer When Life Gives You Lululemons just below the glittering surface.

It’s 1921, and after two years at home in Australia, Katherine King Button has had enough. Her parents have ordered her to get married, but after serving as a nurse during the Great War, she has vowed never to take orders again, and instead flees for Paris. Paris is the city of freedom, the place where she can remake herself as Kiki Button, gossip columnist extraordinaire, partying with the rich and famous, the bohemian and bold, the suspicious and strange. But on the modelling dais, Picasso gives her a job: to find his wife’s portrait, which has gone mysteriously missing. That same night, her old spymaster from the war contacts her – she has to find a double agent or face jail. Kiki has just one week to use every ounce of her determination, her wit and her wiles to save herself, the man she adores, and the life she has come to love. 9781460755778 e 9781460709894 Full of witty banter, gorgeous frocks, fast action and skulduggery galore, April AU $29.99 NZ $35.00 in Paris, 1921 is playful, charming, witty, sexy and very, very entertaining.
