'Philip Cooper’s New York law firm suddenly dispatched him to a country no one had heard of, on a mission he didn’t understand. Having survived both Vietnam and law school, he understood the solace of exhaustion so he went for a run.

Allison Baxter, a sincere American whose banker husband is often away likes Philip’s punishing fitness regime and yearns to share her secrets with him.

Cassandra Sullivan, the Prime Minister’s gorgeous, all-seeing English secretary, has come to Alidar for “a season of abstinence.” The King is interested in her. She is interested in Philip.

Set in a place where perfection is tangible, women are invisible and five times a day a man shouts from a tower that God is great, comes a story of intrigue, romance and scandal where nothing is at it seems.' (Jane Curry Publishing)

'Ten highly intelligent, erotically charged linked short stories set in a top New York law firm, Partners explores the intrigue, sexual politics, romance and misbehaviour that absorb alpha male and alpha female practitioners as much as winning the next client or the next case. With characters like Miriam, a distinguished judge with a provocative imagination, romantic Thomas, lordly Henry and non - conformist Millie, Partners exposes the private lives of lawyers as never seen before. In an era where erotic fiction often means pulp fiction, Partners brings intelligence and sophistication to the genre. Written with a knowing and elegant style by Melbourne based Harrison Young, the characters are passionate, human, flawed, and sexual. The female characters are smart, strong and empowered. This is not a tale of Cinderellas meeting their prince, but sassy consenting adults.' (Publisher's blurb)
