Diana Foxton is the Toast of New York. She's rich, British and beautiful, with a designer wardrobe to die for. Recently married to the head of a publishing empire, she fills her days with shopping, gossiping, and hosting the hottest parties in town. But when she discovers her husband is having an affair, her glamorous bubble bursts. She suddenly finds herself without any money or job skills, shunned by the glittering society she once ruled. On her own for the first time, she takes the only job she can get, exchanges her Manolo Blahniks for Payless, and tries to settle into the life of a woman who does her own laundry, buys her own groceries, and takes the bus. Along the way, she discovers that her handsome new boss might be interested in more than her pretty face, and that she just might make it on her own.

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 New York 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 is the perfect LA society princess: wealthy parents, a lovely home, and looks that stop traffic. But Poppy craves the thrill of rock 'n' roll. It takes star quality to reach the top and Poppy knows where her talent lies. She doesn't want to be the star, she wants to be the star-maker, wheeling and dealing her way to the top. For Daisy Markham, life at her English boarding school is unbearable. Overweight and underachieving, she's an easy target for her cruel classmates. But Daisy escapes her misery by devouring trashy bestsellers, and she's starting to think she'd be better off writing them than reading them. Three women determined to get exactly what they want, who share more than burning ambition and dreams of success. What binds them is a secret they could have never imagined.

Gorgeous goddesses seem to surround lowly script-reader Anna Brown--from her deranged, glamour-queen boss to her perfect, pouting roommates. For Anna, being less-than-beautiful is hard to bear.

Enter Mark Swan, Britain's hottest director. Rugged, reclusive and powerful, everybody wants a piece of him--from studio heads to supermodels. He could be Anna's ticket to the top, but how can she ever hope to snag such a big star? Fed up with being dowdy and downbeat, Anna decides to chase her dreams, and with a little help from her friends, embarks on a madcap scheme to get what she's after.
