Chasing Men

The Tangled Web of Desire

When ambitious PR executive Alice Thornton attends a lavish charity gala on England’s south coast, she expects champagne flutes and polished smiles—but not the electric spark ignited by charismatic art dealer Marcus Bellamy. In Chasing Men, Edwina Currie plunges readers into a whirlwind of high-stakes relationships and buried secrets. Alice, driven by her determination to prove herself in a male-dominated industry, finds her carefully constructed life upended by an irresistible attraction that forces her to confront long-held fears of vulnerability. Currie’s vivid prose captures every glittering ballroom, late-night studio session, and stolen kiss beneath moonlit arches, framing a modern romance as intoxicating—and as perilous—as a game of cat and mouse.

Pursuit and Peril

As Alice and Marcus navigate their burgeoning passion, they uncover more than mutual desire: a conspiracy threatening to destroy Marcus’s claim to a priceless Renaissance masterpiece and disgrace several of London’s most prestigious collectors. With time against them, the duo embarks on a daring quest that sweeps from fog-shrouded museum basements to the windswept cliffs of Brighton. Alice’s resourcefulness and Marcus’s insider knowledge prove an electrifying combination, but each revelation draws them deeper into a maze of betrayals—by business partners, art forgers, and even Alice’s closest friends. Tension crackles with every coded message and every narrow escape, as the line between ally and adversary grows ever thinner.

Heart’s Reckoning

When a shocking betrayal threatens to sever the fragile bond they’ve forged, Alice must decide whether to walk away to preserve her career—or risk everything for a love that defies logic. In a breathtaking climax amid the vaulted galleries of a centuries-old estate, passion and principle collide in a choice that will define both their futures. Chasing Men is a roller-coaster of emotion and intrigue, where ambition meets affection, and the greatest chase is the one that leads us back to the heart.
