*****
As a librarian, Imogen read a lot of books, but none of them covered what she was to experience on the Riviera.

Her holiday with tennis ace, Nicky, and the whole glamorous coterie surrounding Nicky, was a revelation - and so, ultimately, was she. A wild Yorkshire rose among the thorny model girls, Cable and Yvonne, with a rare asset that they'd mislaid years ago...

But the path of a jet-set virgin in that lovely, wicked world was a hard one.

Imogen began to wonder if virtue really was its own reward...
