Claire Cook

Having reluctantly moved to New England only to see her marriage end in infidelity, successful metal sculptor Melanie is compelled to attend her high-school reunion and fantasizes about reconnecting with an old flame.

A string of Italian beauty salons run by a lovably insane Boston Irish family is the backdrop for this hilarious, rambunctious novel that is fully of juicy conflict and unconditional love. Bella Shaughnessy, a newly single entrepreneur, swears off men--that is until she finds herself falling for one.
