BLURB:
Imogen Pearce is a single mum of four children and
fast approaching 40, she works at Ryedale Incorporated where she has to battle
a younger and smarter generation to get to where she wants to go. If that means
taking on the account of Cherry and Sean Rubin’s adult shop, then she will. But
what happens when Imogen discovers the private club that they run at the back?
And what happens when she realizes she knows quite a few members?
EXCERPT:
Men. All the bloody
same.My mind traced back to the day I had given up on one-sided monogamous
relationships.
The children were
at school or work, and the sun was beating down. It was a glorious day, and I
had decided to go home for lunch, rather than spend it in a stuffy office.
I pulled up outside
the house and a fleeting thought passed through my mind when I saw Connor’s car
sitting in the driveway. My husband of eighteen years had had the same idea.
I crept into the
house, hoping to surprise him. But, it turned out that his idea had involved a
slutty bottle-blonde.
I wanted to blame
the events that followed on a red mist descending over me. The truth is that in
the time it took for my mind to register that some tart was riding my husband
in what I later found out was known as reverse cowgirl, my mind had calculated
the necessary response.
The skank lost a
good handful of bleached hair, roots and all. I allowed her to gather her
clothes and watched as she tugged her pants on whilst running out of the house.
If nothing else, the neighbours got a good show.
Connor yelled at
me. But his words were drowned out by the blood pumping in my ears. I marched
back up the stairs and into his little study. Opening the window, I saw Miss
Slut stood in the middle of the road, screeching obscenities at me. I looked at
the Ferrari in our driveway and smiled.
I think his Xbox
enjoyed its first and final flying lesson as it sailed out of the window. The
fact that it landed in the bonnet of his prized mid-life crisis proved that
Karma does exist.
Connor. Holly.
I made a mental
note of the two names at the top of my imaginary hit list.
I blinked and I was
back in the boardroom.

"This is one
of the most original books that this reader has read in ages! One can never
predict what is going to happen next in this sexcapade filled novel. The
characters, are all likeable in spite of their flaws . . . Just when things
begin to settle down, another crisis is thrown at Imogen and therefore, the reader.
There is never a dull moment in this fast moving piece. It is well worth taking
an afternoon to read this zany adventure and to finally learn what' behind the
black door!" ~ Belinda Wilson, Amazon
