You'd have to be an idiot to mess with this girl. And he's an idiot. And an entitled, aristocratic prat. Brenda Munroe was mercenary even as a child. It was that or going hungry, or worse. From stealing school lunches, she's moved onto bigger, better and even legal things. Life is finally looking up when her carefully created world comes crashing down. Stuck broke in London, it's going to take every ounce of her street smarts to survive this time. Strapped for cash - and with a real aversion to the old nine-to-five - Brenda opens a residential school for girls, teaching them in weeks what it's taken her years to master. Namely, how to get by on good looks and a bucket-load of charm. And no need to screw the old guys, thank you very much. Will her students be the only ones learning new skills, or will Brenda finally understand family's about a whole lot more than the blood relations you've been lumbered with? Strapped for Cash is a rollicking, laugh-out-loud read full of historic art thefts, extortion, and politically-charged B&D. So, sit back and join Brenda on her mission to down the British aristocracy one prat at a time. NOTE: Although part of a series, this book can be read as a standalone and was originally published as Screwed for Money

About the Author

Andrene Low is a New Zealand author, whose earliest memory of critical acclaim was aged nine when she receiving an ‘A’ on her essay about the horrific Aberfan disaster. Sadly the praise from her teacher did little to lessen the nightmares that followed, given twenty-eight adults and 116 children lost their lives in the tragedy. From there she’s moved onto writing across several genres, routinely receiving four and five-star reviews on international retail sites and Goodreads. Andrene’s love of writing was instilled in her by her mum, although if her mother were still alive, she’d be smacking Andrene across the back of the head given the direction some of her writing has taken. DietVale is a case in point, and her first horror/thriller. Irreverent, cutting and reflecting her background as a professional stand-up comic —sharing the stage with Mike King, Te Radar, and many more — Andrene’s writing is edgy with humour that can be downright dark in places.
