The Double Life of Anna Day — Louise Candlish

How far would you go to make the right impression?

Anna Day has waited a long time to fall in love, and now that she has she doesn't intend to let the small matter of Charlie's mother stand in her way. Meredith Grainger'is well bred, highly cultured and impossible to impress. So far, Anna hasn't even been allowed to meet her.

Then Charlie leaves the country on business and Anna sees her chance: she decides to launch a secret charm offensive and win Meredith over once and for all: But to do so she must reinvent herself from 'one of the boys' in an office full of foul-mouthed sales reps into a demure butter-wouldn't-melt new model. Garden parties, Sunday tennis, little vintage-style dresses from Laura Ashley -- it all seems so innocent compared with the low cunning she's used to at work.

Until, that is, she decides to join Meredith and her friends on their Art Explorers' trip to Andalucia. There, in the charged, magical atmosphere of the Alhambra, Anna begins to wonder if she might not be a little out of her depth after all .. .
