Emma Lockley is an ordinary girl, who works hard for a living and thinks that romance is over rated. That is until she meets the man who will change both her life and her attitude to sex. The aristocratic Paul Clarey literally sweeps her off her feet and Emma finds that she is not who she thought she was. Passionate Pretence takes Emma from Cambridge to the Lake District, then on to the Greek Islands, with Emma being paid to play the part of Paul's fiancée, with all the pleasure and the pain that this brings her.
Sexually charged throughout, Emma realises that to be part of Paul's world she has to believe in herself and who she is - not easy when Paul's ex-wife, the voluptuous Francesca, so obviously wants him back. Emma becomes part of a world of private jets and palatial villas, sun-drenched beaches and magnificent country houses but is this world really hers or just on loan to her? Set in a few passionate weeks of 1988, this exciting novel by Serena de Courcy shows the power of sexual love between a man and a woman as it plays out against a series of dramatic backdrops.
