'This tale of a woman who becomes the perfect girl to catch her perfect man is the perfect old-fashioned romance.'

Not your typical heroine, not your typical makeover - and fabulous for that! A real page-turner!

Jane Spring has discovered that twenty-first-century relationships are built on a myth. She's organized, attractive, strong-minded and self-sufficient - yet she's single. She's smart, ambitious and sexually confident - yet somehow, while all her friends plan their weddings, no-one wants to marry her.<br/>
<br/>
Then one day she finds the answer. Drinking her way through a depressing afternoon snowed into her apartment, she turns on the TV and finds a Doris Day marathon. And that's when the revelation hits her: Doris wouldn't be stuck inside alone at a weekend. Doris wouldn't scare men off. Doris always gets her man. Because despite everything men say, they're terrified of women like Jane. What they really want is a cute little blonde with frosted pink lipstick, tight pencil skirts and kitten heels. What they really want is Doris. <br/>
<br/>
And so Jane Spring sets out to reinvent herself. If that's what men want, that's what she'll give them...
