Présentation de l'éditeur
At 28, Lucy is doing well for herself. She's got a great job in PR, her boss loves her, and her best girlfriends Dominique and Erin think she's great. More important than anyone's opinion is that of her flatmate, and oldest friend in the world, Henry. For twenty years they've been inseparable: beauty and the geek. Henry thinks the world of Lucy. So why does she feel the need to lie outrageously on dates? From rock-climbing to Chekov: when it comes to prospective boyfriends, Lucy is compelled to embellish her C.V. with unlikely porkies that always backfire - with hilarious results. Henry can't understand it. Lucy is so loveable: why can't she just be herself?
But when Lucy turns the spotlight on Henry, he wishes he'd never brought it up. With a penchant for jumpers and NHS-style specs, Lucy decides that Henry is in need of a makeover - big time. Enlisting the help of Dom and Erin, it's not long before the girls have Henry out of the flat, and into the Topman changing rooms. A new haircut, contact lenses, a flirting master-class from Dom . . . poor Henry doesn't know what's hit him. But nothing can prepare them for the surprise results! Before long, Lucy realises that their lives will never be the same again.

Quatrième de couverture
Four bad dates. Three sassy women.Two inseparable friends. And one way too successful makeover . . .
Lucy Tyler and Henry Fox have been best friends since primary school. So when he enlists her help to embark on an image makeover, she and her friends Dominique and Erin approach the project with relish. As well as the haircut and fashion overhaul, there are master classes in flirting and seduction.
But none of the girls imagine at the start of 'Project Henry' quite how successful it's going to be. After a shaky beginning, Henry's transformation from Lucy's terminally single friend to an irresistible sex god takes on a life of its own. And she isn't at all sure she likes it.
It'd help if her dates were more successful. Only, between breaking someone's arm during a YMCA routine and leaving another in casualty, courtesy of an errant chopstick, they're anything but. With a romantic history like that, is it any wonder Lucy starts to despair when she finds herself sharing a flat with the man of everyone else's dreams?
