'When Nash pikes on the move to Australia, Emma confounds him (and many of their friends), by deciding to go ahead and try life in Australia. After initial misgivings about leaving Nash and the familiarity of her London life behind, Emma's life starts looking up in every sense of the word. Her passion for fashion provides the basis of a new career, she makes some good female mates, and there's a hunky man on the horizon...' (Publisher's blurb)

'In Bed With - a collection of sexy bedtime stories by award-winning, bestselling women novelists.

'To protect identities, each writer has adopted an x-rated pseudonym - the name of their first pet combined with that of their first street.

'Who are Pom Pom Paradise, Minxy Malone, Tutty Monmouth and Sunset Proudfoot? Can you work out who is who? And who wrote that?

'Read about lavish boudoirs, sleazy brothels, shady adulterers, sci-fi seducers, and more. This is a short story collection where the blinds are down and the sex is hot. Entertaining and unashamedly erotic, In Bed With is a delicious collection of fiction provocateur.' (Publisher's blurb)
