NEW RELEASE
Destiny - Louise Bagshawe (2011)
Kate Fox is on a mission in life, to just get by until she marries her rich husband. It is after all her "destiny". When she succeeds in nabbing media mogul Marcus Broder she thinks she has surpassed even her own ambitions. With more money then she could ever spend, and a life filled with nothing more than society functions, what else is there to want? Yet it isn't long before Kate realises that maybe she's given up too much and that her destiny isn't all it's cracked up to be. After Kate realises her mistakes will she be able to escape the shackles of her husband or the gold-digger label? This is the kind of book you can read effortlessly as it's really well written and difficult to put down. Although the story is a little predictable at times, and Kate can be a little too perfect, all in all it's enjoyable and worth a read. (AB)
Author Louise Bagshawe obviously hasn't let her new job as a British MP get in the way of her storytelling. Her upcoming novel Destiny - her 15th novel - will be out in April. The summary says: "Orphan Kate Fox is determined to make her mark in the world, and with her gorgeous looks, what better way to secure her future than to marry money? When she attracts the attention of media mogul Marcus Broder - sophisticated, powerful and wealthy beyond measure - it seems as though all of Kate's dreams have come true. But marriage to Marcus isn't everything she imagined. A closet filled with designer clothes, and nothing to do with her time but shop, lunch and be beautiful, does not bring happiness. Before long, Kate wants out of her marriage, a career of her own, and a chance at love. But Kate's reputation as a gold-digger is sealed. Ruthlessly pursued by Marcus, who will stop at nothing to destroy her, Kate knows she has to defeat her past if she is to win the trust of the man she loves."
