THE DEVIL YOU KNOW

ORION (16 Jan 03)

Rose Fiorello has nothing. Nothing that is except a mane of blue-black hair, she-wolf eyes and a blistering hatred of Rothstein Realty, the ruthless property developer that crushed her father's business like a cockroach. She's vowed to make Rothstein's pay and when she meets Jake, the sexy, arrogant heir to the Rothstein fortune, revenge might be within reach.
Poppy Allen has the perfect LA princess lifestyle: wealthy parents, a lovely home and looks that stop traffic. But Poppy wants more; she craves the excitement of rock 'n' roll. With a razor-sharp eye for business, she's nobody's fool. She doesn't want to be the star, she wants to be the star-maker.
For Daisy Markham, life at her English boarding school is unbearable. Overweight and underachieving, she escapes by devouring glitzy novels. And she's starting to think she'd be better off writing them rather than reading them, if she can just dare herself to try.
Three women determined to get exactly what they want. But they share more than burning ambition and dreams of success. They share a secret that's going to unite them in a way they could never have imagined...
Dripping glamour and excitement from Los Angeles to London, THE DEVIL YOU KNOW is the latest spellbinding read from bestseller Louise Bagshawe.

WHEN SHE WAS BAD

ORION (30 Dec 01)

Lita Morales, the sassy heroine of Louise Bagshawe's When She Was Bad, falls for Rupert Lancaster the moment she meets him, despite warnings that he's "strictly a four-F guy" ("find 'em, feel 'em, fuck 'em and forget 'em"). But he is also utterly, achingly gorgeous and not only is he "tall, dark and handsome", he's smart, charming and a Lord to boot. At first it seems that the exotic Lita has won his heart but when Rupert's court case to regain his country seat goes against him, he dumps her and leaves the country with $100,000 of Lita's money in his tailored pocket.

His next victim is the feisty Becky Lancaster, the heiress to Rupert's English estate. Like Lita, Becky falls headlong for him, opening up her house (and her purse) to him as soon as he walks into her life. It's only when she tests his love that she sees the truly black nature of his heart.

Set against a Britain bound in industrial strife and a glossy, glamorous Manhattan, When She Was Bad follows the fortunes of these two women, who are unwittingly pitted against each other after they're betrayed by Rupert. Both stunningly beautiful, they're also "ball-busting wildcats" who will stop at nothing to destroy their rival. Extremely compelling, this novel explores the complex relationship between new and old money; the obstacles these powerful, beautiful women have to negotiate to survive in testosterone-fuelled careers and the difficulties they face being "brash New Yorkers" in a stuffy, class-divided 1970s Britain.


A KEPT WOMAN

ORION (1 Aug 01)

Rich, British and beautiful, Diana Foxton is the toast of New York. The bride of a ruthless publishing mogul, she fills her days with lunches, decorating and shopping and turns being a "trophy wife" into an art form.
When her world is suddenly torn apart, she is left with no money, no man, and no job, and is shunned by the glittering society that once embraced her.

For the first time, Diana is alone. She takes the only work she can get, and settles, awkwardly, into her new life. But can she make it on her own? And why does her handsome new boss take so much pleasure in watching her struggle?
