Fear not Annie Valentine fans, our girl is back next year with a brand new story! That’s right, Annie Valentine, star of the How Not To Shop series of books by Carmen Reid reappears again on January 20th 2011 with a new adventure that takes her across to the pond to the fashionista’s paradise… New York City!

In London husband Ed faces a scandal at work and knows, in his heart, he needs Annie back. What’s a girl to do when her true love is in London but her new love is New York? Does it have to be fashion or family, or can Annie Valentine have it all?”
