Sexy new Brit book: "FIX: Sex, Lies and Banking"

Dear Anglophiles: I'd like to pass along a press release I received about a sexy, new novel that sounds positively brimming with intrigue: FIX: Sex, Lies and Banking.  This scandalous, debut novel, written by an anonymous author who uses the nom de plume "Lily Temperley," is based on the author's own life.  The story reveals the dangerous culture of money, power, and sex that drives London’s city traders.  

Lily has been featured in major publications such as the Daily Mail Online, Cosmopolitan, and Express, talking about her experiences.  Here's the scoop from the press release:

Playboy investment banker and eternal bachelor Patrick Harrington is a living cliché: wealthy, wildly successful, and outrageously good looking. What nobody knows Patrick's secret: he’s a high-functioning addict who craves his next thrilling fix. His ferocious vices jump between money and sex, from taking daredevil risks at work to pursuing illicit and multiple conquests with various disposable women. When a beautiful ingenue, Alexandra Fisher, joins his office, she doesn’t stand a chance, falling for him quickly and irredeemably. When Patrick receives an envelope full of damning photographs along with an anonymous threat, he will stop at nothing to discover who is trying to ruin him and the life he has worked so hard to build. As his paranoia takes over, even Alexandra comes under scrutiny. Drawn into Patrick’s underworld of deception and depravity, Alexandra soon becomes embroiled in a game without rules, learning that love can make you crazy and that playing with fire can burn.

Based on the real-life experiences of its author, Fix: Sex, Lies and Banking delves headlong into the high-octane world of international banking to reveal the warped personalities, the selfish passions, and the thirst for success at any cost that help make London the banking centre of the world. Writing under a pen name, Lily Temperley has been a fully fledged member of this  high-flying business community for over a decade, and the novel is based on what she has witnessed and experienced, both in and out of the boardroom and on numerous first-class business trips. Serving as both delicious entertainment and a stark warning to women working in the city, Temperley reveals how greed can pervert our sense of right and wrong, how people and
relationships can be used solely for gain, and how those with power can easily be corrupted. Fix:  Sex, Lies and Banking is the perfect hit for fans of the Belle de Jour real-life genre as well as both romance and contemporary women’s fiction.


ABOUT THE AUTHOR 
After fifteen years living and working in London, Lily Temperley is now based in an exotic location in the Middle East. Lily counts herself a part of the scandalous corporate machine whose sordid social misdemeanours she has taken as  inspiration for her writing. FIX: Sex, Lies and Banking, published by Clink Street Publishing, is available online from retailers including Amazon.com and can be ordered from all good  bookstores November 7th.
