The Hurt

By Eva Bielby

Everything we do in life always has a price!

Well-spoken, intelligent and beautiful, Helen Pawson has lived a privileged life. Her parents have made sure she wants for nothing. She's attended the best private schools and has learned to appreciate the finer things in life. In her mind, she has everything she needs at her fingertips.

Her father's unexpected illness soon turns Helen's world topsy-turvy. To make matters worse, she experiences a betrayal that will last a lifetime. Determined to overcome the mental illness she fights, she dives head-first into a decision that will change her life forever.

The trials and tribulations of marriage leave her wanting more from the life she leads. Displeased and tired of her husband's dark secrets, Helen sets out on a journey of self-discovery, one that leads her straight into the arms of dashing lawyer, Simon.

Startled by the fact she enjoys carnal pleasures in more ways than one, Helen agrees to Simon's subtle demands. In doing so, he opens her eyes to the dark and gritty world of being a call girl. A world she soon begins to crave.

The secrets of Helen's past follow her at every turn. If she's to succeed in making something of herself, she'll need to confront each of her ghosts. Will she be able to set all wrongs to right before it's too late? Or will her new hunger for more end up swallowing her in the process?
