Opis

Jenny likes a challenge and Antony is the biggest challenge of her life... "Boys like you get preyed upon," Antony's father tells him in a rare moment of honesty and openness, but Richard can have no idea just how vulnerable his eighteen-year-old son truly is. From a family where nothing is quite as it seems and where secrecy is the norm, Antony seems fair game to the predatory Jenny. Her relentless pursuit of him originates in a mean-spirited bet made with her colleague Judy, Antony's former history teacher, who has challenged Jenny to track him down and seduce him. Jenny is totally unprepared for Antony's refusal to sleep with her or to have any sort of relationship other than friendship. She's never met anyone quite like him before and her obsession deepens the more he rejects her. She's no idea what he's already been through and as far as she's concerned it's irrelevant. Pretty soon, for both of them it becomes a much more serious matter than a mere bet and the consequences are unimaginable for either of them.
