Stone Broke Heiress: A completely laugh-out-loud romantic comedy Danielle Owen-Jones

Six months ago, I was the heiress to a soup empire worth millions. Now, I'm standing in a giant dumpster.




Bella Whittington's caviar-and-Cristal life comes crashing down when she walks in on her fiancé and best friend tangled up in page 34 of the Kama Sutra, limbs everywhere. But her plan to dull the pain with Daddy's credit card is totalled by the news that they've lost the family business. Suddenly Bella's both single and completely broke.




Shivering in her dingy new studio apartment after a traumatic incident with a homemade turmeric face mask (Hello Tangerina Jolie!), Bella realises she must pull up her Gucci socks and get a job, fast. But Dan, the gorgeous grumpy owner of the local soup kitchen, hates the Whittingtons, so a teensy lie about her surname gets Bella through the door, and set loose on the stove... Minestrone with a side of melted spatula, anyone?




When Bella's ex returns with a golden ticket back to her glitzy old life, should she accept? Because that would mean no more box wine and frozen pizza nights with Dan. No more singalongs to the crackly kitchen radio. No more my-heart-is-as-melted-as-that-spatula moments when he finally cracks a reluctant smile... But if Dan finds out the truth about who she really is, will she even have the choice?




An absolutely hilarious, feel-good rom com that will have you snorting with laughter. The new must-read for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Lindsey Kelk and Schitt's Creek!
