    About this ebook

    Hard to smile when your best friend is marrying your ex. Harder still to smile when you’re wearing layers of neon pink netting. When Kat’s gift for being a bridesmaid turns out to be a GI Joe action figure, her smile finally threatens to break. But after she throws the figure in the closet, the gift turns into something unexpected and she can’t stop smiling.

    Barbara Elsborg

    Barbara Elsborg lives in Kent in the south-east of England. She always wanted to be a spy, but having confessed to everyone without them even resorting to torture, she decided it was not for her. Volcanology scorched her feet. A morbid fear of sharks put paid to marine biology. So instead, she spent several years successfully selling cyanide.After dragging up two rotten, ungrateful children and frustrating her sexy, devoted, wonderful husband (who can now stop twisting her arm) she finally has time to conduct an affair with an electrifying plugged-in male, her laptop.Barbara's written around fifty novels, a mixture of MM, MMM and MF. They cover a whole range of genres - contemporary, paranormal, suspense, sci fi etc. She likes to write about quirky heroines, bad boys, and weird paranormal creatures, and she hopes her books are as much fun to read as they were to write.
