HER ONLY HOPE FOR SURVIVAL…
Handsome, wealthy and respected, Sir Mark Turner is the most sought-after bachelor in all of London—and he’s known far and wide for his irreproachable character. But behind his virtuous reputation lies a passionate nature he keeps carefully in check… until he meets the beautiful Jessica Farleigh, the woman he’s waited for all his life.
IS TO RUIN THE MAN SHE LOVES…
But Jessica is a courtesan, not the genteel lady Sir Mark believes. Desperate to win free of a life she despises, she seizes her chance when Mark’s enemies make her an offer she can’t refuse: Seduce Mark and tarnish his good name, and a princely sum will be hers. Yet as she comes to know the man she’s sworn to destroy, Jessica will be forced to choose between the future she needs—and the love she knows is impossible.

Sikerül-e Lord Baddinghamnek megtartania a Corinium Televízió jogát, vagy egy másik konzorcium kapja meg? A döntés évében Cotchester városában és környékén felpezsdül az élet - vagy inkább elszabadul a pokol? - forrnak az indulatok, az ádáz küzdelem a helyiek magánéletét is felforgatja.
A Lovasokból már ismert Rupert Campbell-Black újra feltűnik a színen: frissen vált, kicsapongó életén mit sem változtatott és sportminiszteri feladatait igyekszik ellátni. Vajon ezúttal talál-e magának valakit, aki megszelídíti és a léha playboy-ból tisztes férjet farag?
Új szereplők is felbukkannak Cotswold vidékén: Cameron Cook, a fékezhetetlen "vadmacska" egyenesen Amerikából érkezik, hogy a coriniumban produceri feladatokat lásson el, Decian O'Harát, az ír sztárriportert pedig a BBC-től sikerült elhalásznia a cégnek. Találkozásuk nem zökkenőmentes, pedig a csatorna számára létkérdés, hogy ezt a két markáns személyiséget valahogyan összecsiszolják...

Victor is a cold-blooded assassin who, like Sarai, has known only death and violence since he was a young boy. When Victor arrives at the compound to collect details and payment for a hit, Sarai sees him as her only opportunity for escape. But things don’t go as planned and instead of finding transport back to Tucson, she finds herself free from one dangerous man and caught in the clutches of another.
While on the run, Victor strays from his primal nature as he succumbs to his conscience and resolves to help Sarai.
