Jessica and Max are finally going to tie the knot, and Jessica is determined to have the biggest, best wedding ever. The only problem is, recently Max has been evasive - and when Jessica follows him and sees him in an apparent tryst with an attractive woman, it's the last straw. The next thing she knows, she's drunk at a bar, cosying up to the top rival of Max's firm, and letting some top-secret work details slip... details that could cost Max everything. The next morning Jessica is deeply ashamed of her actions, and when a series of events leads her to discover an important truth about her past, she realises she shouldn't have doubted the only man she's ever loved. But as evidence of her own indiscretion surfaces, she knows that the same can't be said about her. Is her Big Day, as well as her job and reputation in jeopardy?

WHAT’S ONE LITTLE WHITE LIE?Okay, so it isn’t that little. It’s kind of a whopper. It’s just that when Natalie Raglan ups and quits her job at a Bath advertising firm, breaks up with her loser-ish boyfriend, and moves–to London! Things don’t quite turn out the way she planned. Having made the brave move to the Big City, the lifelong country mouse finds that living chic is still a long way off. Even Cressida, the girl who used to rent her tiny flat, still gets more phone calls and mail there than Nat does. Come to think of it, Cressida Langdon’s life looks pretty appealing–especially when an invitation to the posh, exclusive Soho House club arrives, addressed to Cressida. Before she really knows what she’s done, Nat has opened Cressida’s mail . . . and taken up her life. Soon Nat’s dating a gorgeous investment banker named Simon, giving “reiki healing sessions,” wearing wonderful clothes, and partying with the A-list at Soho House. But the best part really is Simon. He’s everything Nat has ever wanted. The problem is he thinks she’s someone else. And as her life and her lies begin to spiral out of control, Nat can’t help but wonder: Will she be exposed as a liar and a fake–or be saved from ruin by simply claiming good intentions. . . .

Auch wenn Kate als hoffnungslose Romantikerin oft den Frotzeleien ihrer Freunde ausgesetzt ist, heißt das noch lange nicht, dass sie ein hoffnungsloser Fall ist. Als sie im Internet auf einen altmodischen Liebesratgeber stößt, beschließt sie kurzerhand, den großmütterlichen Beziehungstipps eine Chance zu geben. Und noch bevor sie den ersten Rat in die Tat umsetzen kann, lernt sie jemanden kennen - den umwerfend gut aussehenden Schauspieler Joe mit dem furchtbar niedlichen amerikanischen Akzent ...

Um der Geschichte auf den Grund zu gehen, soll Jennifer als BWL-Studentin in das Unternehmen ihres Vaters geschleust werden. Widerwillig lässt Jen sich auf die Sache ein und muss feststellen, dass sie sich in dieser neuen Welt des Großkapitals, der Designeranzüge und Business-Lunches gar nicht so unwohl fühlt - ein Umstand, der nicht zuletzt dem attraktiven BWL-Dozenten Daniel Peterson zu verdanken ist ...

Prins gevraagd. Met paard. Liefst wit. Als het om de liefde gaat, is een prins op het witte paard dan echt te veel gevraagd? Blijkbaar wel, want Kate Hetherington heeft de ware nog steeds niet gevonden. Ze koopt voor de grap op eBay het Handboek voor de hopeloze romanticus. Met niet-goed-geld-teruggarantie! Kate waagt het erop om de adviezen op te volgen en nog voor ze het goed en wel doorheeft, loopt ze Joe Rogers, een knappe Amerikaanse acteur met een strak lichaam, tegen het lijf. Hij is werkelijk perfect en Kate denkt eindelijk De Ware gevonden te hebben. Maar haar beste vrienden Tom en (de eeuwig pragmatische) Sally zijn minder enthousiast. Zijn ze nou jaloers of weten zij iets over de liefde dat het handboek niet vermeldt? En wat ze niet door heeft, is dat de prins op het witte paard al jaren op haar wacht, en hij is dichterbij dan ze had durven dromen...
