Pretty Woman: A Novel
Michaels Fern
Rosie Gardener and Vickie Winters were best friends, closer than
sisters. Partners in a successful mail-order company, both women lived
comfortably in lush Savannah, Georgia. Svelte and single Vickie only
wanted the best for her friend -- and she couldn't stay quiet when
Rosie, overweight and unable to see her own worth, fell under the spell
of Kent Bliss, a two-timing cad whose meal ticket was vulnerable Rosie.
The night before Rosie's wedding was the last time Vickie spoke to her
-- to warn her about Kent's true nature, and to quit their business
before leaving for Europe.
Now, on her third wedding anniversary,
Rosie realizes Vickie was right -- and that the Porsche and other
indulgences were her attempts to buy the love of a man who only cared
about himself. Fed up with his mistreatment, she vows to change her life
-- starting by kicking him out that night. The next day, she begins a
diet and exercise regime. But more life-changing news awaits: Rosie has
the single winning ticket in the Wonderball lottery -- and she's won
$302 million.
With Kent lurking in the shadows to claim a share of
her money, Rosie needs her friends more than ever -- and when Vickie
returns to Savannah, Rosie learns the power of forgiveness. As she loses
weight and works out under the eye of sexy personal trainer Jack
Silver, a new Rosie emerges. This pretty woman is making a fresh start,
and no one's greed or bitterness -- or even her own occasional
self-doubts -- will stop her from jumping into life and love with a
passion she didn't know she possessed.
