A sharp, witty and hugely entertaining debut novel, "The Devil Wears Prada" is "The Nanny Diaries" set in the world of high fashion. Welcome to the dollhouse, baby! When Andrea first sets foot in the plush Manhattan offices of Runway, she knows nothing. She's never heard of the world's most fashionable magazine, or its feared and fawned-over editor, Miranda Priestly. But she's going to be Miranda's assistant, a job millions of girls would die for. A year later, she knows altogether too much: That it's a sacking offence to wear anything lower than a three-inch heel to work. But that there's always a fresh pair of Manolos for you in the accessories cupboard. That Miranda believes Hermes scarves are disposable, and you must keep a life-time supply on hand at all times. That eight stone is fat. That you can charge cars, manicures, anything at all to the Runway account, but you must never, ever, leave your desk, or let Miranda's coffee get ... more

In the 1930s few opportunities existed for boys in Balmain, but at just sixteen years of age Danny Dunn has everything going for him: brains, looks, sporting aptitude - and luck with the ladies. His parents run The Hero, the favourite neighbourhood watering hole, and Danny is a local hero. Luck changes for Danny when he signs up for the AIF. He returns to his beloved Balmain a broken man, embittered and disfigured by war, and knows that life for him will be forever changed. So, together with Helen, his strong-willed wife, he sets about rebuilding a life informed by both good fortune and the harshest of knocks - a life of compassion and corruption, love and power. And a life blessed by two beautiful daughters, Sam and Gabby. While they are identical twins, they chase two very different dreams...The Publican's Daughters is an Australian family saga spanning two generations of Sydney publicans and politicians. It is a compelling story of ... more

Duncan is a semi-retired, wealthy shipping magnate who lives in idyllic Beautiful Bay, Vanuatu, where he is known as the old patriarch of the islands. He is grieving the loss of his beguiling Eurasian true love, Anna, and is suffering for the first time from disturbing flashbacks to the Second World War.

So he puts pen to paper and tells the compelling tale of the life he has lived since his war-hero days. It's an adventurous life that has had at its heart the love of two passionate and unforgettable - but very different - women.

The seductive Anna Til and the beguiling Marg Hamilton have spent a lifetime in contest for Nick's devotion. Nick remains torn between them, and struggles between their two opposing worlds of economic exploitation and environmental crusade - until he is called upon to referee...

Moving between the exotic Pacific Islands, Japan and Australia, over several decades, Fishing for Stars is an epic drama ... more

Ever wondered what a celebrity's life is really like? Struggling actress Fran has always had stars in her eyes but with a part in a car insurance ad as her only claim to fame, making it big is starting to look unlikely. So taking a job as a PA to Caroline Mason - one half of Hollywood's most famous couple - seems like a fantastic opportunity. Especially when Fran's first encounter with Caroline's sexy, Oscar-winning boyfriend involves him wearing nothing but a tiny towel ...But Fran's new job is far from glamorous as her days are spent fetching never-ending, venti, quatro, decaf, skinny lattes and being an all-round slave to a demanding, botoxed diva. And when the job starts to cost Fran her friends and the man of her dreams she has to ask herself whether it's really worth it. The time has come for Miss M to find out a few home truths, for Fran to get her life on track and to win back her Mr Right...

Danny Lawson is struggling to raise her twin sister's orphaned children and hold down a full-time job in a busy A&E department. Then the children's American uncle contacts her out of the blue, under family orders to take the children back to meet their father's family. Danny's niece and nephew are all the family she has. While she'd be the first to admit that Ross's family seems a little unhinged, she'd still love to have them as her family - minus their sarcastic eldest son.A titanic battle of wills ensues... and the most unfortunate, irresistible sexual attraction. In this brilliantly funny and poignant tale of modern love and misadventure, the spoils of war are family. And maybe, just maybe, something more.
