Lottery winner Cleo Dowling is living her dream, running a bookshop in the sleepy village of Kilrowan and larking around with her gorgeous painter husband, Pablo. But the dream turns into a nightmare when Pablo accepts a commission to paint a portrait of a Dublin 4 princess... Bestselling author Pixie Pirelli is a media consultant's dream, running the treadmill of red carpets, chat shows and book signings.
But Pixie's big smile masks a hurt so bad she's forced to trade in her glittering career for a quiet life in the sticks. She can run, but she can't hide: who is La Londonista - red in tooth and claw - and why is she trying to sabotage Pixie's career? Sussed city girl Hazel MacNamara has a list of celebrities with ex-directory, top secret phone numbers on her organiser.
Which of these luminaries will dazzle obligingly and make the Kilrowan Arts Festival the must-attend event of the Irish social calendar?
Will it be film star Rory McDonagh? Will it be literary diva Colleen? Or will it be- shhh!
