Bethenny Frankel has secured a three-book deal with Touchstone Fireside publishing group.

The Bethenny Getting Married? star will pen will her first release called Skinny Dipping - a romantic novel which serves as a shout out to her popular Skinnygirl brand that includes workout DVDs, cookbooks and margarita mixes.

"It's about a girl's journey and what she wants, and trying to have it all. It's about the lessons and the people along the way, about naysayers and rising above," Frankel told USA Today.

"There will be a lot of juiciness and people wondering what it's based on and if any of it was influenced by my life."

Frankel recently revealed that she made over $120 million as a result of her appearance on The Real Housewives of New York City.

She said earlier this year that she would love to host her own talk show as she feels that the format is something she would be good at.
