  • Diamonds are a Teen's Best Friend

    Allison Rushby

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Jan. 12, 2017)
    Nessa Joanne Mulholland, aka Marilyn Monroe's No. 1 teenage fan, is used to moving house. This time, however, she's relocating in movie-star style—crossing the Atlantic on board the Majestic, headed for Paris from New York City. And it really would be in movie-star style if it wasn't for the fact that she's bringing her cringe-fest professor dad along for the ride (Dad's specialization: human mating rituals—need Nessa say more?). Oh yeah, and sharing a cabin that's five decks below sea level and next to the engine room. Still, at least Holly Isles is on board. Yes, really, that Holly Isles—star of stage and screen. Suddenly, things are looking up. Looking a little Marilyn, in fact, because events are strangely mirroring Nessa's favorite movie of all time, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Watch! As Holly Isles, world-famous actress, confides in Nessa over mocktails. Listen! As Nessa coaches Holly in the amazing "Nessa's Lesson's in Love"—the ultimate man-catching rules to finding true and lasting lurv. See! Nessa fall for Holly's too-cute nephew, Marc. . . and Cover your eyes! As it all goes terribly, horribly, embarrassingly wrong. There's no doubting it. This is going to be one pitchy crossing.

  • How to Date a Millionaire

    Allison Rushby

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Oct. 23, 2013)
    Nessa Joanne Mulholland, aka Marilyn Monroe's No. 1 teenage fan, is about to become a big sister—twice over. Her movie-star stepmother, Holly, is very pregnant with twins when, suddenly, B and G (that's Boy and Girl) decide they need to get away from it all. Within hours, Nessa, her dad, Holly, her best friend Alexa, and tag-along cousin Nat are on a private jet and headed for some rest and relaxation Hawaiian style. Except that, on hitting the sand, there's not a lot of rest and relaxation to be found. The penthouse apartment they've booked is suddenly unavailable, Holly's blood pressure skyrockets, Nat is bronze-beach-boy crazy, and what's with the three cute guys living upstairs? Laugh! At Nat's crazy antics (will Nessa and Alexa really have to chain her to the apartment balcony to keep her out of boy trouble?) Cry! When Nessa meets someone who's had the life-saving operation her mother couldn't have. Sigh! As two gorgeous babies make their way into the world . . . and Applaud! As Nessa finally gets things right . . . for once.
