The battle of the beauticians begins. When Emily Brown's life - and business - is turned around by a surprise visit from Carina Lees, immaculately groomed reality TV star, she can't believe her luck. With just one other member of staff to help her out at her salon "The Beauty Spot", Emily is pushed for time as well as money, and so Carina's patronage is more than welcome. But even with the assistance of new girl Natalie, things start to go mysteriously wrong, and it soon becomes clear that someone's got it in for the salon. And with dirty tactics, the battle of the beauticians commences. For under all the make-up and manicures, Carina is not who she seems, and although confronting the past can be more painful than a bikini wax, Emily eventually has to stare the truth in the face and realise it's what's inside that really counts.

Have you ever had your heart broken? How did you get over it? Did you delete his number and start again? Are you now friends with your ex? Perhaps you're godmother to his children? In which case, you're a weirdo and this book is not for you. But if you reacted with denial, begging or a spot of casual witchcraft, then you've come to the right place. This is one woman's journey from love to lunacy and back again. If you ever recall past heartbreaks with an urge to go into hiding, this will make you feel better. Sure, you may have sent his new girlfriend a bunch of dead roses, but did you spend a grand on psychic hotlines and a voodoo curse?
