Roderick Archers beruflicher Werdegang war ebenso vielfältig wie seine intellektuellen Interessen. Nach anfänglichen Erfahrungen im Energie- und Ingenieurwesen wechselte er in den Bildungsbereich, wo er Englisch, Recht und Geisteswissenschaften unterrichtete. Diese Zeit entfachte eine Leidenschaft für das Schreiben, die Politik und die City of London. Heute teilt er seine Zeit zwischen Teilzeitunterricht und seinem Engagement für das Schreiben auf.
Sable Fairfax is beautiful, smart and a fighter.After reading modern languages, she begins a promising career in the Foreign Office and trains as a diplomat.Her love life is not quite so straightforward, but she remains sharp, poised and ready to take advantage of any opportunities that come her way, especially as she starts to move in higher political circles.

Her short black hair, always perfectly in place, was part of what made her so attractive to him. That and her red lipstick.Having spent a brief holiday with him in Gibraltar she hoped to repeat the experience again, but when? They rarely had any time together due to their work commitments and she was becoming more and more frustrated that their customary kiss goodbye on the back seat of his Jaguar never led any further.But when she met the dashing colonel her guard went down and with it the release of sexual tension that had been simmering inside her for so long.
