The heartbreaker - Susan Howatch (St. Benet's #3)

Susan Howatch explores power, love and healing in the modern world in The Heartbreaker, a richly rewarding and utterly compelling novel set in the City of London.

In this adrenalin-charged square mile deep in the recession of the 1990s, sex is just another commodity, and keeping one's integrity is a daily struggle.

Gavin Blake is riding high. He's up to his neck in sex and sleaze, but he's young and handsome and he's making a lot of money. Carta Graham wants nothing more than to forget her life as a high-flying lawyer, so she's buried herself in a fund-raising project for the City church of St Benet's. When she meets Gavin, she thinks the only thing they share is a temporary sexual attraction, but she's wrong. Gavin's world is spiralling dangerously out of control and he and Carta are about to change each other's lives for ever.
