Celebrity journalist Ann Roth has one last chance to prove herself.
Unlike her colleagues at Famous—the L.A. magazine—Ann doesn't pick through people's garbage and would never pervert the truth. But her editor thinks she's too nice—and unless she does something drastic, he's going to replace her with a killer journalist who's more willing to get down and dirty to get a story. When airplane-phobic Ann's scheduled interview with actor Malcolm Goddard falls apart—after the surly, notoriously media-averse celeb insists he'll answer questions only while piloting his Cessna—she finds herself abruptly unemployed . . . and headed back to her tiny Missouri hometown to heal and regroup.
As luck would have it, the great Malcolm shows up in little Middletown under an alias—a patient at the local hospital—and Ann recognizes a golden opportunity to reclaim her career . . . and score some payback in the process. First she'll volunteer at the hospital, then she'll befriend the laid-up screen star and secretly worm the story of a lifetime out of him. If she proves she's everything her editor wanted, she'll certainly get her job back. But how much is she willing to risk for her career? Her conscience? Her ethics? Her heart?

As all of the early reviews indicate, Jane Heller is a writer at the top of her game.Her sixth novel Sis Boom Bah, was the first book to be optioned for a feature film by Julia Roberts's production company, Shoelace Productions.It also made the USA Today bestseller list in its St. Martin's Press paperback edition.Her seventh novel, Name Dropping, published in paperback by St. Martin's in March, earned her the best reviews of her career, including a rave from People magazine (she's the only author with four "Book of the Week" nods from People).Now comes her eighth and most ingenious romantic comedy, Female Intelligence.An alternate selection of the Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club, with audio rights already sold to Audio Renaissance, FemaleIntelligence is a modern twist on "My Fair Lady" - the perfect combination of witty, sparkling dialogue and fast-paced, page-turning plotting. In the classic film, Rex Harrison was a linguist who taught street urchin Audrey Hepburn how to speak like a lady and then fell in love with her.In FemaleIntelligence, Lynn Wyman is a linguist who teaches macho CEO Brandon Brock how to speak with ladies and falls in love with him.Lynn has a successful practice in sensitivity training, instructing alpha males in the language of Womenspeak so they can relate better to the women in their lives.When her personal life becomes the stuff of tabloids and her professional reputation is sullied, she must do something - anything - to resurrect her career.After spotting Brock on the cover of Fortune magazine's "America's Toughest Bosses" issue, she bets her friends that, by tinkering with his words, by adjusting his speech patterns, by putting him through her Wyman Method, she can turn him into "America's Most Sensitive Boss" and climb back on top.Little does she know that by winning her bet she will lose her heart.FemaleIntelligence is a hilarious look at our inability to bridge the communication gap between men and women, despite all the Mars/Venus books on the market.Brimming with Jane's inimitable humor, it also features her trademark mix of romance and suspense, including a surprise ending in which one of the heroin's friends turns out to be anything but.A sure-fire bestseller to be backed by a major marketing campaign, FemaleIntelligenceconfirms Jane's status as a wry, knowing writer with a keen eye for popular culture.

The battle of the sexes rages on in this smart, witty, and extremely timely comedy from the phenomenally popular Jane Heller
At first, Manhattan financial planner Melanie Banks adores Dan Swain, her pro football player husband who's got a sexy Oklahoma drawl to go with his athletic good looks. But then his career comes to a screeching halt and he spends the next few years out of a job, seemingly unconcerned about it. Suddenly, she's the one bringing home the bacon and falling out of love with the paycheck-devouring, couch-sitting mooch. Divorce is the answer, she decides -- only to learn she has to fork over alimony while he lives like a prince on her income and she has to share custody of their precious dog, Buster. Consumed with the unfairness of it all, she plays dirty, hiring a high-profile matchmaker to find some unsuspecting female she can dump on Dan for ninety days and cause him to violate their cohabitation clause.
But then Melanie's scheme backfires. Her ex's new love revitalizes him, miraculously transforming him into the focused, responsible go-getter she always hoped he'd be. And now, with the ninety-day clock about to chime, she realizes she wants him back.

In the uproarious Sis Boom Bah, Jane Heller captures the true essence of sisterhood--the exasperation and the affection.When their mother suffers a heart attack, two sisters are forced to stop the squabbling that has defined their relationship since they were kids, and kiss and make up. Deborah Peltz, a soap opera writer in New York, and Sharon Peltz, a wedding planner in Florida, grudgingly agree to a truce for the sake of their mother's health; and, their fragile peace holds--until a man comes into their lives...a man to whom who they're both attracted...a man who happens to be their mother's cardiologist.
It doesn't take long before insults are hurled and verbal fists fly. But Deborah and Sharon's bickering takes an entirely new turn when they discover the object of their mutual affection stretched out on the floor of his den--dead. Suddenly, the Peltz sisters go from being each other's enemies to each other's alibis. They're on the police's list of suspects for the doctor's murder, and sibling rivalry or no sibling rivalry, they've got to bury the hatchet and get themselves out of trouble. In the process, they not only find men of their own to love...they find a way to love and accept each other.
In the comic tradition of Jane Heller's previous novels, Cha Cha Cha, The Club, Internal Affairs, Princess Charming, and Crystal Clear, Sis Boom Bah is as hilarious as it is poignant--a book that will provoke laughter in all sisters, hopefully nudging a few of them to let go of past hurts and mend fences.

Every woman who's ever been involved with a man has harbored the thought: If only he would change. It's just the way we're wired, just the way we look at love. We're deliriously happy with him in the beginning of the romantic relationship but then, ever so gradually, ever so scarily, we decide he needs to be fixed. But what if we get our wish and we do fix him? And what if it turns out that we were better off with the guy he was before we fixed him?Meet Elizabeth Baskin, who falls in love, gets married, and discovers six years into her union that the magic is gone - or, rather, fading. Her husband Roger has grown a paunch, lost interest in sex, and seems allergic to conversation. What's a disgruntled wife to do? She could go into denial. She could drag him into therapy. Or she could take her sister's advice and consult a certain Beverly Hills doctor who is spoken about in hushed, reverent tones - a doctor to Hollywood stars whose practice is, well, a bit unconventional. After scoring an appointment with the doc, Elizabeth is convinced that she's found the secret ingredient to saving her marriage. It seems so simple, so innocent. All she has to do is slip the prescribed packet of miracle herbs into Roger's orange juice and then - presto! - she'll have him back the way he was before he started coming home from work and falling asleep in front of the television set! Little does she know that her plan will go dramatically awry and that, instead of rekindling her romance with Roger, she will find herself stuck with a man she hardly recognizes and doesn't even like. Suddenly, Elizabeth is breaking into the doctor's office, running from the law, and teaming up with a transplanted southern belle - all in a desperate attempt to restore Roger to his old, imperfect self. What she learns is that perfection - especially when it comes to husbands - is highly overrated. The question is: does her revelation come too late? Filled with Jane Heller's keen observations about relationships and her trademark sense of humor, The Secret Ingredient is another delicious novel of romance, suspense, and laughter.
