Welcome to the 80s, the decade of decadence...
‘Joyful and mischievous’ Jojo Moyes
‘Fun, sexy and unputdownable – a classic’ Marian Keyes
The glamorous, cutthroat world of 1980s British television is all about power, a time when the affluent elite exist in a bubble of immense wealth and influence, and will use any means to get what they want. Lord Baddingham is desperate to retain his Corinium TV franchise, and to do so he’s hired Declan O’Hara, an Irish talk show mega-star. Baddingham has also enticed on board Cameron Cook, a gorgeous and brash executive, to produce Declan’s program. But Declan and Cameron detest each other, soon provoking a storm of controversy.
Enter into the fray everyone’s favourite hate-to-love-him bad-boy, Rupert Campbell-Black. 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 everyone is competing—in bed and in the boardroom—to come out on top.
‘Flawlessly entertaining’ Helen Fielding
‘Pure, unadulterated joy’ Sophie Kinsella

I thought I adored Rupert enough already after Riders but you just fall in love with him all over again in this book. Nothing more attractive than a reformed rake!
