Book Description

A clandestine encounter between lecturers at Keywood upper college campus is witnessed by second year psychology student Lucinda White. Determined to make the most of this opportunity Lucinda embarks on a little blackmail, convincing senior lecturer Mr. Peter Caine that she will keep quiet about her discovery in exchange for a series of after college tuition. Peter, bemused and flattered by the attention she pays him and worried about the power she holds over him, then embarks on a dangerous liaison with Lucinda. Peter finds himself drawn to the student as she teases and entices him, playing games with his desire. As their illicit relationship deepens however, Peter's long time girlfriend and fellow lecturer, Miss. Amy Price becomes increasingly suspicious. Annoyed by the attention her partner is paying to Lucinda, Amy becomes determined to uncover the truth. Peter and Amy's world is turned upside down as Lucinda's demands increase in their intensity. But what does Lucinda really want? Is there more to this enigmatic girl than meets the eye? A Wicked Game moves through twists and turns until the story reaches its final climax. Review I like Gemma Parkes' style of writing and her cheerful sexiness, and this latest book is no exception. Here she is writing about a precocious young woman and how she makes her college lecturer's life a delightful misery. It is hard for an author to write a story without betraying some of her inner thoughts, and now we can guess what was going through Gemma's mind back then, during long, boring college lectures...
