Alyson Noel, author of FLY ME TO THE MOON

Jessica Brody graduated from Smith College with degrees in Economics and French. In 2005, she left her job at MGM Studios in Los Angeles to become a full time writer and producer. Jessica currently lives in Los Angeles where she is working on her second novel.

'My mission has been clear from day one. Uncover the truth. Give women a chance to move on with their lives. But not everyone sees this job as a worthy cause...They'd see me as a woman who knowingly flirts with married men and then breaks up relationships. Ruins families. Tears people apart. And that's why I keep it to myself.' 
 
Working under the code name 'Ashlyn', Jennifer Hunter leads a double life. Her friends and family all think she's an investment banker who's too busy to date. In reality, Jennifer is a professional honey-trap, hired by suspicious wives and girlfriends to test the fidelity of the men in their lives. Her job has made her pretty cynical about her own love life. But just as she's ready to swear off men for ever, Jennifer meets sexy, sophisticated Jamie Richards, a man who might just past her fidelity test. However, before she retires her secret agent self forever, she takes on one last assignment - a job which will permanently alter her perceptions of trust, honesty, and love.

With a complicated, sympathetic protagonist, worthy stakes and a clever twist on the standard chick lit narrative, Brody will pull readers in from the first page.

Jennifer Hunter is an expert on men. She can tell if they're single, married or lying... 
 
She runs a company which specialises in conducting fidelity inspections for those who suspect their loved ones are capable of infidelity. Boyfriend behaving badly? Suspect your husband of straying? Then Jennifer can supply the ultimate test. 
 
Some might call it entrapment but to Jennifer it's business pure and simple. And business is booming. But every success brings inevitable backlash and with each new challenge, Jen finds it harder and harder to stay in "retirement," despite the promises she has made to her new boyfriend, Jamie to leave the actual 'seductions' to her employees. 
 
Unfortunately, Jamie is one of the few men that Jennifer's never been able to 'read'. But after seeing so many men fail the fidelity tests, can Jennifer let herself believe in one good man?
