THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE...

The gorgeous women of Churchminster know exactly what they want - a constant flow of champagne and the love of a good man.

But faced with the likes of beer-guzzling farmer Angus, foul-tempered Lord Fraser and suave banker Sebastian (devoted only to himself), their attentions are increasingly drawn to more attractive possibilities . . .

Meanwhile, when a part of their beloved village comes under threat from a villainous property developer and his bulldozer, the community is united by a different kind of passion and important questions occupy their minds:

Can they raise enough money to save Churchminster? And can a person actually die from too much extra-marital sex?

The Churchminster adventures continue in Naked Truths...
