'
It's utterly unputdownable but also very subtle and moving - though probably not suitable for your granny, unless she's very open-minded.' 
Ian Peacock, broadcaster writing on Peacockshock

'This is an edgy, fast moving, story about a relationship between Helen, a married journalist and Dominic, a younger bisexual actor with a troubled past. Once I'd started it, I spent every spare moment reading it until it was finished - A real page turner with intriguing characters, gritty realism and the lure of escapism.'

Can you really protect your heart from casual sex? 

Helen loves her easy-going husband but her biological clock is ticking and her marriage is childless. She’s intrigued by Dominic, an aspiring young actor, who’s lived off the earnings from his body since he ran away from his children’s home at 14. But Dominic also wants Theo, a charismatic art student who he longs to seduce - and protect.

Helen’s orderly life of weekend guests and work deadlines is turned upside down as she finds herself drawn deeper into a word of casual sex, recreational drugs and London’s gay scene. And just as she realises that her sexual obsession with Dominic is threatening to turn into love, the consequences of her new life begin to unravel.
