BASTARDS is the Hot but Cautionary Tale of Sex, and Ex, and Unfinished Business.

Zoe's Ex blows back into her life 20 years after he'd walked out - BASTARD!

Meet: The Heroine: Zoe Harrington, feisty, frustrated and fortysomething, a former media babe turned sex journalist with a past that makes Bridget Jones look like a nun, two bickering children and a disillusioned husband

The LoveRat: publisher Shaun Lyon, the Ex Who Marks the Spot - and we're talking G-spot. His repertoire makes The Perfumed Garden look like the parish allotment, but he's become damaged and dangerous...

The Husband: Jim Harrington, the creative clinical depressive with a struggling indie film company, and a last-ditch Big Idea

The story: a cautionary tale of Unfinished Business rampaging through the London media scene, a women's prison, the Old Bailey - and a runaway viral press campaign that sends the tabloids into a feeding frenzy

Funny, heart-warming, sexy (and downright scary) by turns, this racy, rollercoaster feelgood tale is compulsive reading and will keep you hooked till the very last page.
