Freelance writer, Jaine Austen is not your typical Los Angelino. She's not rich, she's not thin, and she's definitely not star struck. She is a sarcastic, sometime-sleuth who has never seen a carb she didn't like, or come across a mystery she couldn't solve...If clothes make the man, then what do Jaine's elastic waist pants and untucked T-shirts make her? A fashion nightmare, according to her neighbour Lance. In a land of halter tops and barely-there skirts, Jaine is hopelessly out of step, but comfort is high on her list of priorities. She doesn't expect Lance - who works in the designer shoe department at Nieman Marcus - to understand...which is how she ends up at his favourite boutique, Passions, one bleak day. Not many double-digit-sized bodies pass through Passions' doors, and Jaine senses disaster.
