Summer Blowout — Claire Cook

A good makeup artist never panics. Bella Shaughnessy knows that. She's the resident makeup maven in her family of Boston Irish hair salon owners, and she has an artful solution to just about every problem. But Bella feels bruised beyond reach of even the best concealer when her half-sister runs off with her husband. What can she do to cover a hurt like that?

Plenty, as it turns out. When Bella comes up with an invigorating new business idea, reinvention seems like a real and exciting possibility. And when she meets a cute entrepreneur at a college fair, success -- and maybe romance -- seems near. Can she move beyond the fear and take a chance on life, and love, again?
