  Bestselling author of PASSION and SPARKLES, LOUISE BAGSHAWE, is 'Britain's younger, smarter answer to Jackie Collins' (Mirror). With her public school education, trust fund and castle for a family home, Elizabeth Savage has seemingly led a privileged life. But the one thing she really wants, the chance to prove herself in the world of work, is the one thing she can't get. New Yorker Nina Roth, on the other hand, was born the wrong side of the tracks, and it's sheer grit and determination that have made her the successful career woman she is. Set on making a better life for herself, she's done what needed to be done. But has she gone one step too far? Two women from two different worlds, but these tall poppies have much more in common than they think. And, as both will find, the trouble with being a tall poppy is people will try and cut you down to size...
