Jane Moore's first book, which was published in 2001, is about Josephine Miles. At age thirty-three, she is forced to come up with a new life when her husband leaves her for "the cliché" - his very young, very pretty secretary. Suddenly she's single and back in the dating game with the added complication of children in tow. But Josephine is no wallflower, and she soon finds herself with not one but four eligible bachelors vying for her time and affections. Add her two kids and her now booming interior design business to the mix, and she winds up with a nightmarish schedule but a dreamy love life.

A romantic comedy set against the background of Internet dating, published in 2004. Jess Monroe is 34 and perfectly happy being single. But her friends think otherwise and, as a birthday present, buy her an ad on an Internet dating site. Furious, she eventually agrees to go on just three dates - and ventures into a world where the description on the tin rarely matches the contents. Once her reservations have faded, she embarks on several dates of varying success - until one day a catastrophic event brings her life sharply into focus and makes her re-evaluate everything she's ever known.
[edit] The Second Wives Club
The book came out in 2005 and is about Alison and Luca, who have just exchanged wedding vows and are preparing to cap off their perfect day at the wedding reception. But before the champagne even hits the crystal stemware, Luca's first wife storms in and snatches back her children. When the fuss has died down, Alison's friend Sarah confides that a few women she knows have started The Second Wives Club, where they get together to vent about the drama that inevitably unfolds when you share your husband with another woman. The club's members include Julia (a stunning wife whose husband insists on remaining uncomfortably close to his former spouse), Susan (whose husband is the classic widower who can't let go of his ex's memory), and Sarah (whose cross to bear is a bitch on wheels). Together, they ride the roller-coaster of their chosen lives and - as they contend with malicious gossip, scheming divorce lawyers, and ex-wives intent on sabotaging their relationships - ultimately must decide what's best for their marriages, their husbands, and themselves.
[edit] Love @ First Site

And when they secretly place a personal ad on a hot singles Web site on her behalf, Jessica is reluctantly hurtled into the topsy-turvy world of online dating, where frogs masquerade as princes - but your soul mate might be just one click away. After a series of disastrous dates, Jessica starts to wonder if the qualities she thinks she wants in a man are what she ultimately needs. And whether, as a new mystery suitor appears in her e-mail in-box, Cupid has other possibilities up his sleeve.
