Isabel Sharpe will have you laughing-out-loud!

Heather Brannen has a problem . . . she's drop dead gorgeous. Yep, she can't make a move without some man hitting on her. A strange bet transforms this swan into an ugly duckling named Marsha. Jack Fortunato is used to women falling all over him, but Marsha doesn't seem to realize he's gorgeous, and this is one woman who he needs to fall so he can win his bet. So he spends time wooing her, only to realize that she's the one wooing him and that he's fallen head-over-heels. This oddball comedy that has you feeling sorry for "beautiful people" will have you chuckling from the first page to the last! Isabel Sharpe has a comic cadence to her writing that I adored!
