Late evening, New York City: young American adventuress Faith Ballard makes a reckless and illegal parachute jump off a tall building. Evading the police, she hides in the flat of a very sexy woman. Meanwhile in London, gay but reserved clerk Joyce Wilde awakens and pleasures herself in the afterwaves of a bizarre erotic dream.What links Faith and Joyce is a tontine: an agreement and legacy set up by the late Constance Wilde - Faith's lover, Joyce's mother - and one which takes both women, along with three others, to the savannahs and jungles of Africa. There, the bonds and obligations of the tontine are played out against a background of danger, intrigue and the raunchiest sex imaginable.

Amber, Sue and Diane - three women from an English market town - are successful in their businesses, but all want more from their private lives. When they become involved in the Silver Banner - an English Civil War re-enactment society- there's plenty of opportunity for them to fraternise with the handsome muscular men in historical uniform. Thing is, the fun-loving Cavaliers are much sexier than the puritan Roundheads, and the tensions are rivalries are played out on the village green and in the bedroom.

Great characterisation and oodles of sexy fun in this story of three friends who love dressing up for a romp.
