A middle-aged hack joins Kate in the Sahara for the world's toughest foot-race, The Marathon des Sables. Pain, heat and the biggest blisters on the planet - it's the perfect recipe for falling in love.

Kim is a rookie reporter in the heart of the Cotswolds - learning his trade and desperate for love. But there's only one woman he wants: the beautiful, ethereal, unobtainable Sasha.

Men throw themselves at Sasha. Every week, they're buying her flowers and offering her Champagne - and if Kim would win her heart, then he must do something completely different.

After a year of cool courtship, and after the pair have nearly drowned, Kim makes his move, and they fall helplessly, hopelessly in love. Kim's got everything he wants; Sasha has too.

For this love-struck couple, life doesn't get any better. They've got everything going for them. And they've got everything to lose.

Kim is a waiter in a Dorset hotel, an absolute hot-bed of sex. But he's seeing none of it. Instead he falls for Cally, a 43-year-old artist who is steaming with chutzpah. She is a woman who grabs life by the throat; she knows what she wants - and most of the time she gets it, too. She lives only in the moment, losing so many of her nine lives that it's almost as if she has a death wish. Kim finds love as he has never known it before - but even when he's completely in Cally's thrall, he's still unable to resist the allure of other younger women.

It's 1998 and Kim is 'The Sun''s correspondent in New York City, zigzagging across America chasing exclusives, among them President Bill Clinton's infamous relations with Monica Lewinsky, an affair symbolic of a climate in which multiple lovers are increasingly becoming the norm. Back in Manhattan, though, Kim thinks he's found the only woman for him: Elise is beautiful, witty, intelligent and, it goes without saying, a sensational lover. The only catch is that she doesn't want just him - and he's agreed to it. Kim still can't really remember the details of the deal made over a boozy dinner, but he's agreed that for one day a week, Elise can continue to see her French lover. For months on end, Kim is tormented by the knowledge that on Thursday nights his Elise is sleeping with someone else. But he loves her so much that he's not even tempted to play the field himself.

Can a man be so desperate for a woman's love that he allows himself to be ruled by her entirely? It's something that he'll never forget. And forgiveness... Forgiving her, that he can do, but will he ever be able to forgive himself?

A bittersweet love story about how far you can go for the woman you love - and at what cost.

Originally published in 1956, this survey of the interpretations of sex by the major figures in Christian thought and in psychoanalysis made an important contribution to the re-thinking of our sexual morality at the time. The author refutes the common belief that the negative attitude toward sex and the body, which had been predominant in western civilization, originated with Christianity. He shows that such a viewpoint was widespread in the early Hellenism Age, nearly three centuries before Christ. He emphasizes the essentially positive view which Biblical religion demands and shows how Christianity's attitude early became corrupted by the dualism of the Orient. He points to the need for a return to essential naturalism and the Biblical interpretation of sex. The first part of the book consists of a historical treatment in the Christian tradition, touching upon the teaching of Jesus, Paul, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin and others. He analyses the classical and contemporary attitudes and ideas in both Catholic and Protestant circles and shows how Christian understanding comes into conflict with psychoanalysis. In the later portions of the book the author discusses sex and psychoanalysis and the major problems in sexual mores. He ends with a synthesis of the religious and psychoanalytic points of view and a critical reconstruction of a Christian interpretation.

'Charming, moving, uplifting. Why can't all love stories be like this?' Tunku Varadarajan, The Wall Street Journal 'This is a charming and uplifting book' Piers Morgan Seventeen-year-old schoolboy Kim is an idle drifter at one of Britain's most extraordinary institutions, Eton College - crammed with over a thousand boys and not a girl in sight. His head is full of the Falklands War and a possible army career, until the day he hears his new piano teacher, the beautiful but pained India, playing Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. Kim's life is destined never to be the same again. An intensely passionate affair develops and he wallows in the wild and unaccustomed thrill of first love. Twenty-five years on, Kim recalls that heady summer and how their fledgling relationship was so brutally snuffed out - finished off by his enemies, by the constraints of Eton, and by his own withering jealousy. The Eton Affair is the bittersweet story of a life-changing love.
