About The Novel
REAL MEN DON'T WEAR MAKE-UPNew York based Aussie model Ryan Briggs, about to turn thirty, longs to break free from the mind-numbing business and hang up the make-up case once and for all. A business venture proposed by corporate cowboy Eric, an old school pal, may be his final hope, but the situation is grim... if only he managed to put a little aside during those fruitful years.
Ryan barely musters the will to drag himself to a casting for a fragrance campaign, where his charm and wit catch the eye of marketing executive Candice, a serial man-eating nymphomaniac, more than willing to exploit her position of power. Having sold his mind and soul for the last eight years, Ryan must decide if he is to put everything on the line and sacrifice his moral integrity for the sake of getting ahead... after all, his dignity may be the only thing he has left.
Meanwhile, unlike his other frivolous romps in the city, a one-night stand like no other with high-flying English heiress Felicity will have serious consequences.
Going head to head with a pair of malicious Manhattan femmes fatales who join the dots on the day of the big shoot, not to mention competing with an aging Brazilian male supermodel hellbent on resurrecting his flailing career, may be more than our straight-laced Aussie lad can handle.
If he prevails, Ryan will then face the toughest test of all... overcoming his addiction to the Game.
