Storyline
| Plot Summary |
London website designer Alice was happy in a stable relationship with reliable, somewhat boring Jake, but she quickly dumps him after falling in love at first sight and having wild sex with an overbearing hot hunk, even before she discovers that he is famous mountaineer Adam Tallis, a studly celebrity about whom a book is currently being promoted. In no time they get married, despite anonymous warnings not to trust him. In Adam's presence she enjoys being his slavish sex-toy, but when alone at his place she can't resist snooping into his past. Finding out about women falling out of love with him, she concludes that her climbing rescuer is scarily, dangerously jealous. Written by KGF Vissers |
