Money makes the world go round, that's what Grace Reeves thinks. Stuck in a grind where everyone's ahead apart from her, she's partied out, cynical and in debt to the tune of five figures. 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.

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?

From the author of the outstanding Guitar Girl, and Let's Get Lost, comes a new teenage novel all about love, loss and identity.

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?
