The Matchbreaker by Chris Manby
When Lindsey Parker's widowed father announces that he is to remarry, Lindsey does what any good daughter would do: wishes him congratulations then sets about trying to kill his fiancee, Karen. Fortunately, the murder attempt fails but Lindsey still succeeds in driving Karen off. It doesn't take long, however, before Lindsey realizes that her father's heart really is broken and the only way to mend it is by getting Karen back. But Karen already has a new man -- mysterious entrepreneur.Lindsey enlists the help of an old schoolmate, now private detective, in an attempt to break this new couple up, but when on her friend's advice, Lindsay turns honey-trapper and sets out to seduce her ex-future-step-mother's new man, she finds herself falling in love...

GIRL MEETS APE is charming, funny and compelling as your favourite soap... it's a rip-roaring good read' - Heat. 'A fast-track, fun romance full of monkey business' - Daily Mail on GIRL MEETS APE. 'Nothing short of brilliant' - Marie Claire on SEVEN SUNNY DAYS. 'Very funny, hugely feel-good and the perfect antidote for anyone who worries that the only career ladder they've achieved is a run in their tights' Fiona Walker on LIZZIE JORDAN'S SECRET LIFE. 'Devour it in one go' - Company on READY OR NOT?"
In 1995 Chris Manby met a New York psychic who told her she would write seven novels. This is her tenth. Which means she probably won't marry that millionaire, either. She is also editor/contributor to the Girls' Night In anthologies, which have so far raised more than GBP 1,000,000 for humanitarian organisation War Child, and topped book charts all over the world. Raised in Gloucester, Chris now lives between London and Los Angeles. Her hobbies include reading in-flight magazines and she hopes that continually crossing time zones is an effective anti-ageing strategy.
