Face Value

Small-town reporter Kate Miller has never been a fashion do—until now.

Kate Miller is no beauty expert. The rookie reporter from small-town England can?t walk properly in a pair of heels and doesn?t know the first thing about waxing. But then she receives an incredible phone call. Darling magazine in New York wantsher to be their new beauty editor! So what if she has no idea whether gray eyeshadow is the new black kohl? Suddenly Kate?along with her deep-discount clothes and hopelessly dated hair?is in the Big Apple, being swept away by the world of fashion. But she better find a way to put a positive spin on plastic surgery for the big yearly supplement or she?ll lose everything??including the hotshot plastic surgeon-to-the-stars who thinks Kate?s beauty is way more than skin deep.Kathleen Baird-Murray was most recently the Health & Beauty Director at Tatler (UK). She has also worked as Beauty Editor for Telegraph Magazine, and spent a year at Australian Marie Claire and Elle. Married with two children, she was also featured in Pantene ads when beginning her career as a young model.
