Book description
Into the cut-throat world of Corinium television comes Declan O'Hara,
a mega-star of great glamour and integrity with a radiant feckless
wife, a handsome son and two ravishing teenage daughters. Living
rather too closely across the valley is Rupert Campbell-Black,
divorced and as dissolute as ever, and now the Tory Minister for
Sport.
Declan needs only a few days at Corinium to realise that the
Managing Director, Lord Baddingham, is a crook who has recruited him
merely to help retain the franchise for Corinium. Baddingham has also
enticed Cameron Cook, a gorgeous but domineering woman executive, to
produce Declan's programme. Declan and Cameron detest each other,
provoking a storm of controversy into which Rupert plunges with his
usual abandon.
As a rival group emerges to pitch for the franchise, reputations
ripen and decline, true love blossoms and burns, marriages are made
and shattered, and sex raises its (delicious) head at almost every
throw as, in bed and boardroom, the race is on to capture the Cotswold Crown.
