Melissa Romney-Jones can bake a perfect sponge cake, type her little heart out, and plan a party blindfolded. But none of that has helped her get far in life or in love. When she gets fired -- again -- she decides to market her impeccable social skills to single men. To avoid embarrassing her father, a Member of Parliament, Melissa dons a blond wig and becomes Honey, a no-nonsense bombshell who helps clueless bachelors shop, entertain, and navigate social minefields. She even attends parties if a client needs a "date." But when a dashing American starts to request Honey's services on a regular basis, it's only a matter of time before Honey's and Melissa's worlds collide.... 982677 5 9 2006 The Little Lady Agency total:1699|5:298|4:719|3:554|2:107|1:21| 1699 6263 2387 363 5 7 false false Thu Feb 05 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 16 09:16:20 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 05 09:52:36 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 2 false false Mon Sep 01 10:28:47 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 31 12:46:28 -0700 2008 4 2 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 02 20:28:49 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 02 20:29:49 -0800 2008
