  Cinderella meets Legally Blonde - the irresistible new novel from the bestselling author of Walk of Fame Jane Spring just can't work out where she's going wrong. A New York District Attorney, she's successful, organized, opinionated, self-sufficient and intelligent, so why hasn't' she got a man? Brought up by her military father in a regimented family, she can't think what more a man could want. An ability to talk about baseball? Then, when a blizzard hits and she's forced to stay at home for two days, she finds the answer. Drinking her way through a depressing afternoon stuck inside, she turns on the TV and finds a Doris Day marathon. And it comes to her: men say they want someone smart, ambitious and sexually available, but what they really want is a little blonde virgin with frosted pink lipstick, tight pencil skits and kitten heels. That's where she's been going wrong! And so Jane Spring sets out to reinvent herself. If that's what men want, that's what she'll give them...

  Jane Spring has discovered that twenty-first-century relationships are built on a myth. She's organized, attractive, strong-minded and self-sufficient - yet she's single. She's smart, ambitious and sexually confident - yet somehow, while all her friends plan their weddings, no-one wants to marry her. Then one day she finds the answer. Drinking her way through a depressing afternoon snowed into her apartment, she turns on the TV and finds a Doris Day marathon. And that's when the revelation hits her: Doris wouldn't be stuck inside alone at a weekend. Doris wouldn't scare men off. Doris always gets her man. Because despite everything men say, they're terrified of women like Jane. What they really want is a cute little blonde with frosted pink lipstick, tight pencil skirts and kitten heels. What they really want is Doris. And so Jane Spring sets out to reinvent herself. If that's what men want, that's what she'll give them...
