What the Paparazzi Didn't See. Nicola Marsh

      The secrets behind Australia’s most famous smile

      Liza Lithgow has her reasons for living life in the spotlight, and they’re all to do with protecting her little sister. Now she’s finally saved enough money to leave the red carpet behind, what better way to celebrate than with a martini and a man?

      The only problem is, the man in question turns out to be a publisher wanting her kiss-and-tell autobiography! Wade Urquart’s company wants a story? Fine. If scandal will sell more copies, she’ll give them exactly what they want! But what will Wade see—the glossy facade or maybe, at last, the real Liza?

      What the Paparazzi Didn’t See

      “Why did you agree to have a drink with me?”

      The waitress deposited their drinks and he raised a martini glass in her direction. “You seemed to be in your element at that party.”

      “Haven’t you ever faked it?” She clinked her glass to his. “What you see isn’t always what you get.”

      He stared at her over the rim of his glass, a slight groove between his brows. “Have to say, you’re an intriguing woman and I can’t figure you out.”

      She shrugged. “What’s there to know? We’re two people who wanted to escape that party. We’re having a drink. End of story.”

      “Is it?”

      His gaze locked on hers, potent and smoldering, and her breath hitched.

      She took a sip of her martini, needing the alcohol to loosen her tightened vocal cords. “You’re expecting an epilogue?”

      “A guy can always live in hope,” he said.

      Dear Reader,

      I admit it. The glamorous celebrity lifestyle intrigues me.

      As a young woman, I had the opportunity to be a part of this world via my love for the North Melbourne Football Club. It was fun and frivolous and fabulous!

      Then recently, I watched WAG Nation and it got me thinking… What happens behind the scenes in the lives of sportsmen’s wives and girlfriends?

      How difficult is it to constantly be under public scrutiny?

      My heroine, Liza Lithgow, knows firsthand what it’s like to put on a front while hiding her real motivation.

      Will she be able to reveal her true self to publishing powerhouse Wade Urquart and find love in the process?

      I loved writing a book with publishing as its theme. It’s a world I live in daily!

      I hope you have as much fun reading Liza and Wade’s romance as I did creating it.

      Happy reading,

      Nicola

      LIZA LITHGOW’S STYLE TIPS

      FOR MAXIMUM WAG WOW IMPACT

      The Lashes

      The eyes have it. Whether attending a grand final at a stadium packed with one hundred thousand people, a glamorous nightclub opening or a BBQ with the team and their partners, bold eyes make a statement.

      1 Prep with a hydrating cream.

      2 Apply foundation over your lids.

      3 Draw the perfect line with pencil then trace with liquid eyeliner.

      4 Apply shadow of choice. Go for sparkle at night.

      5 Finish with lashings of mascara.

      If you need a little help in the lash department, extensions are the way to go. Individual fake lashes are pasted to your own, giving you a lush look that turns heads.

      A full set of extensions takes about an hour. They last 3-6 weeks and will require refills at this time. Refills take 30 minutes.
