Informazioni sull'autore

Claudia Carroll was born in Dublin, where she still lives. She has worked extensively as an actress on the Irish stage, but is probably best known for her role as TV's nasty Nicola Prendergast in the long-running Irish soap opera Fair City, a character she describes as ' the horrible old cow everyone loves to hate.' She is now a full-time writer.

IT'S THE CELEBRITY WEDDING OF THE YEAR AND EVERYONE'S INVITED!

Portia Davenport is officially the luckiest woman in the world. She and her drop-dead-gorgeous husband, Andrew, have just finished ploughing a fortune into renovating her ancestral home, Davenport Hall, and are now planning to unveil it as one of the most fabulous, luxurious, five-star country-house hotels in Kildare. But life never turns out like you think, and no sooner has the red ribbon been cut at the grand opening party than Andrew is jetting off to New York, back to his old job, old apartment, old friends and Portia very much fears, his bachelor ways . . .

And so the smooth running of Davenport Hall is entrusted to her beautiful younger sister, Daisy, which is a bit like leaving Country Barbie in charge of the United Nations. Especially as Eleanor Armstrong, daughter of the Irish president, has chosen the Hall as the perfect backdrop for her society wedding to footballing legend, Oldcastle United's star striker and general all-round sex god, Mark Lloyd.

Meanwhile, in Manhattan, Portia meets Lynn Fairweather, a single woman who's looking for Mr Right in much the same way that Scott was looking for the Antarctic. And if he just happens to be married to Portia, that's not her problem . . .

And what is that smell coming from the cowsheds?
