Alison May

Would you risk everything for love? Independent, straight-talking Trix Allen wouldn't. She's been in love once before and ended up with nothing. Now safely single, Trix is as far away from the saccharine-sweet world of hearts and flowers as it's possible to be. Ben Messina is the man who broke Trix's heart. Now he's successful, the only thing rational Ben and free-spirited Trix see eye-to-eye on is the fact that falling in love isn't part of the plan. But when Ben's brother sets out to win the heart of Trix's best friend, romance is very much in the air. Will Trix gamble everything on love and risk ending up with zero once again?

SELLING POINTS: * A clever adaptation of 'Much Ado about Nothing'. The first in a Shakespeare themed series. A highly accomplished debut. REVIEWS: "I think this is a marvellous updated retelling of the play. Some recent 'takes' on it seem forced but this one has the needed wit, humour, and pathos required to tell the tale as well as seeming fresh and modern. Nothing comes off as incongruous or out of place while it still keeps to the necessary details required of the story. I loved what Ms May has done to bring the characters into the 21st century" Jayne at Dear Author.
