Dumping Billy

By Olivia Goldsmith
Warner Books

Kate Jameson has a great job as a psychologist at a posh private Manhattan school. She has funny and wonderful friends.

She has a wonderful loving husband…Oh, No wait! No she doesn’t! She WANTS a wonderful loving husband.

Dumping Billy Excerpt
Brian suddenly pushed against her, wriggling his way out of her embrace. He stood up and looked at her angrily.

“Why not?” he demanded. “Why can’t my magic work?” He glared at Kate for another moment, then pushed her hard and barreled out of the room, nearly knocking over the dollhouse. The office door crashed and rebounded open. From down the hall, she heard a voice—Elliot Winston’s—try to stop Brian.

Kate left Brooklyn searching for better opportunities the first chance she got. Now she’s making a good life for herself in Manhattan while her Brooklyn posse is busy getting engaged, getting married and having babies.

Kate has been dating unsuccessfully trying to find a man that suits her well and that her friends approve of. Kate’s life takes a crazy turn when her best friend Bina who was supposed to be getting married gets dumped instead and her heart is broken. Kate comes up with a master plan to help Bina get her man back.

Meet Billy Nolan. He’s a hot Brooklyn bar owner and master dater and dumper of women. Kate’s plan involves getting Billy to date and dump Bina to get the stray fiancé to come back begging.
