Product Description
Spring has officially arrived at Manderley Prep--and lust is in the air…
Ethan Andrews is the one guy that Maggie has always wanted but never had the courage to go for. With her shortage of funds and Ugly Betty looks, she’s not even a blip on his radar. That’s all about to change when Maggie gets the makeover of a lifetime-and a little help from her friends. The perfect opportunity to get noticed by Ethan comes on the class trip to Hawaii. Could there be a more ideal setting for a little romance? Now Maggie just has to figure out if she has the guts to make her move…
[Well, I suppose Maggie could end up using one of Master Liechtenauer's wrestling throws to get Ethan's attention. Or she could just stick the point of a longsword under his nose. That usually works. Exactly what kind of "makeover" are we talking about here?? -- Ruth]
