If she's dumped by one more rock-band wannabe, squashed by anyone else at the cut-throat magazine where she works, or chased by any more bailiffs, Grace knows she'll fall apart. Welcome to being a twenty-something in twenty-first century London. So when Vaughn, older, suave, and above all wealthy, appears she can't help but be intrigued. She could handle being a sugar daddy's arm candy, couldn't she? But there's no such thing as a free lunch, and Grace is startled to find herself catapulted into the role of Vaughn's mistress. She's at his beck and call in return for thousands of pounds a month in gifts, clothes and cash. Where do you draw the line between acting the trophy girlfriend and selling yourself for money? And more importantly, does it matter?

Sweet, bookish Neve Slater always plays by the rules. And the number one rule is that good-natured fat girls like her don't get guys like gorgeous, handsome William, heir to Neve's heart since university. But William's been in LA for three years, and Neve's been slimming down and re-inventing herself so that when he returns, he'll fall head over heels in love with the new, improved her. So she's not that interested in other men. Until her sister Celia points out that if Neve wants William to think she's an experienced love-goddess and not the fumbling, awkward girl he left behind, then she'd better get some, well, experience. What Neve needs is someone to show her the ropes, someone like Celia's colleague Max. Wicked, shallow, sexyMax. And since he's such a man-slut, and so not Neve's type, she certainly won't fall for him. Because William is the man for her... right? Somewhere between losing weight and losing her inhibitions, Neve's lost her heart - but to who?
