Romp!

Welcome to the 80s, and to the raunchiest summer of your lifeWhen Lady Opal Fairfax discovers her scoundrel of a husband cheating, she decides to turn the tables on him. Instead of divorce, she's going to get even. Opal invites five daring (and gorgeous) artists to her manor for a summer filled with competition and seduction.
Among them is Ruby, a talented poet struggling to make ends meet. So when Opal dangles a life-changing cash prize for the best artist, Ruby can't resist. But she wasn't expecting the competition to be quite so fierce - or so sexy.
With all these brilliant and beautiful people around, life at Fairfax Manor promises to be anything but dull, for Opal and the guests. And a very single Ruby isn't just seeking inspiration: she's going to find a way to find come out on top... in more ways than one.
A delicious and sexy romp for fans of Jilly Cooper, Jackie Collins, big hair and wilder parties.
