Three Great Novels: The Bestsellers: Venus Envy, A Kept Woman, When She Was Bad

by Louise Bagshawe

This collection includes three of Louise Bagshawe's bestsellers in one volume. In Venus Envy, Alex Wilde is 27, single, bored at work, and surrounded by flatmates that would make a glitterball feel square. Her little sister Gail is pretty, waif-like, and irritating. Femme fatale Keisha is flying up the ladder of success at work. It's time for Alex to get out and strut her stuff. In A Kept Woman, Diana Foxton has it all. Between hosting the most talked about parties in Manhattan, Diana makes being the perfect wife an art form. Then she discovers her husband is having an affair, and finds herself broke and alone, shunned by the glittering society that once embraced her. Can she make it on her own? In When She Was Bad, Lita and Rebecca are worlds apart. From the tough streets of the Bronx, Lita is determined to succeed—whatever the cost. When privileged Rebecca inherits an estate in England, it's just the start of a whole new life. Linked by betrayal, Rebecca and Lita are set against each other. Until they discover just how sweet vengeance can be.
