author: Ortolon, Julie
description: Maddy, Christine, and Amy are thrilled that their old college suitemate has written the bestselling book How to Have a Perfect Life--until they realize she used them as examples of how women let fear screw up their lives. The worst part is...it's sort of true. Together they make a pact: They each have one year to face down their fears--and maybe show Miss Perfect a thing or two!
  
  The Wandering Duckling
  Defying the terrible sense of direction that's kept her from traveling, Amy ships out as a nanny on a Caribbean cruise--arid promptly gets lost when they stop at St. Barts. Now she's stranded without any money--or even a toothbrush!
  
  The Two-Faced Beast
  Locals say that Gaspar, owner of the island's crumbling fortress, is a hideous recluse. They call him La Bête, "The Beast." But when Amy applies for a job at the fort, she meets only his charming assistant, Beaufort. In truth, the two are the same man--billionaire Byron Parks, who's desperately seeking privacy and peace.
  
  A Perfect Fairy Tale?
  Amy aches for the miserable man secluded in the fortress tower. Through e-mail, they begin an imaginative exchange of romantic fantasies. Byron is hopelessly smitten with his sexy storyteller--but will his real-life make-believe ruin their happy ending?
