Olivia Joules, an independent journalist turned master spy, finds herself drawn to the seductive and powerful Pierre Ferramo, a man of impeccable taste, extraordinary wealth, and exotic international homes, until she begins to worry that he is an international terrorist intent on the destruction of the Western world but hiding his goal behind a sophisticated smokescreen.
Picked this up with a bunch of other books at a library sale, solely because I enjoyed Bridget Jones' Diary by the same author. A mistake. It's badly written, one-dimensional, predictable, and trite. Don't bother.
