Book Cover: Marrying Out Of Money by Nicky Schmidt
July 6th, 2010 by Chloe
Nicky Schmidt’s second novel Marrying Out Of Money is due out on 2nd September, and I really like the cover, it’s quite unusual! It’ll certainly stand out on your bookshelf that’s for sure! Leah really liked Nicky’s other book Naked In Knightsbridge, so I think I’ll give this one a go. Here’s the synopsis:
“Marrying Out of Money follows the life and loves of a rich coffee heiress Lou, who is madly infatuated with the less than erudite, tree-hugging, scruffy-to-the-point-of-smelly Hedge – member of rock band 4BY4. Lou’s social-climbing mother decides that enough is enough, and hooks up with a poverty-stricken aristocrat to arrange a marriage between the Lou and the snotty, outrageously good-looking Harry Partington - 40th in line to the throne. Not surprisingly, for both parties, it’s hate on sight. Still desperately in love with rockstar Hedge, but with her beloved father ill and wanting nothing more that to see her married, Lou sets about making herself so repulsive that the aristocrats decide a future on a derelict council estate is preferable to having her as a daughter-in-law. Of course, nothing goes according to plan, and the coffee-heiress finds herself questioning the wisdom of her actions, when she discovers that horrible Harry has a sensitive side after all. “
