Siobhan McKenna won TV3′s ‘Write a Bestseller’ competition in Ireland and the result of that is her debut novel The Lingerie Designer. The novel came out a couple of weeks back and I must admit, I very much enjoy the sound of the novel. I didn’t know there was a competition on and I’m definitely interested in reading Siobhan’s winning novel. Here’s the synopsis and our congratulations go to Siobhan on winning the competition!:

Helen Devine is one of the UK’s most successful lingerie designers. Her luscious creations have spiced up the love life of many a grateful woman and sealed the deal on many a budding romance. So why is her own love life such a disaster? She’s a sexy, confident woman: surely the right man for her must be out there somewhere? Helen’s best friend Poppy, a great believer in Synchronicity, urges Helen to trust in fate. As a level-headed businesswoman, Helen prefers to trust in herself. Besides, she feels Poppy needs to practise what she preaches . . . Then a series of strange coincidences during a business trip to Hong Kong and a once-in-a-lifetime holiday in Vietnam causes Helen to think twice. From the city lights of Hong Kong to the majestic rock-formations of Halong Bay and the smoky jazz clubs of Hanoi, it looks like fate might at last be lending her a helping hand in finding The One. Perhaps Poppy might be onto something after all? On the other hand, maybe the road to happiness leads back to where they started from . . .
