Polly - the plain one of four sisters - knew she was lucky to catch brilliant Seth, the darling of the world of interior design, so cutting edge they have to invent awards for him; and with a fabulous home and an exciting job in a Bond Street art gallery, Polly has everything she could possibly want - except a baby. Polly's neighbour Ginnie has three kids, but she'd gladly swap one for Polly's collection of shoes. Shopping is an Olympic-level sport for Ginnie - but it still doesn't mask her restlessness. And her publisher husband Julian is starting to worry. When American media mogul Simon Harte moves in to the corner house, life suddenly gets more intriguing - and dangerous. Because wealthy, gorgeous, available Simon is interested in art, design, books - and so much more. Everyone on chic Albemarle Terrace wants to know him - and it seems very mutual. But what exactly is Harte's desire? "Harrod-Eagles skilfully avoids the sentimental side of chick lit while spinning a good story, poking subtle fun at the obsessions of the wealthy, and topping it off with a happy ending.

A light, fluffy, feel-good read." Booklist on Harte's Desire "A heart-warming, charming and thoroughly engaging modern-day romance." Booklist on Kate's Progress "Harrod-Eagles captures an unusual personality and a complex period beautifully." Publisher's Weekly on The Colonel's Daughter.
