Books like Simply divine by Holden, Wendy
"Jane is a twenty-something journalist who has the usual problems facing a woman: job stress, career angst, weight trouble, and an unfulfilling relationship with the man in her life." "Her best friend, Tally, wishes she had a boyfriend: a knight with a gold card, who could ride up and keep her beloved family estate from falling into the hands of greedy developers. Which is about as likely to happen as Jane embarking on a guilt-free, passionate affair with the sexy writer who lives upstairs.".
"Instead, Jane has just been recruited for her magazine's latest circulation-boosting gimmick: ghostwriting the life and racy times of celebrity socialite Champagne D'Vyne. But following the grand diva of self-promotion across Europe and straight into tabloid hell can have its advantages. Especially if it leads to - cross your fingers - a new job, a new man, and just maybe, that long dreamed-of walk down the aisle."--BOOK JACKET.
