With two months to go before the release of Jo Rees’s new book Forbidden Pleasures, her publishers have re-designed the cover. I think it looks much better than the old cover. The book is out on August 5th and here’s the synopsis:

From Las Vegas to Dubai, from Shanghai to London, the fatal pull of the gambling world stretches…Savannah, pleasure-loving It Girl, wants to prove herself to her powerful, ruthless father Michael Hudson - until a terrible tragedy forces her to re-think her life. Lois, an ex-cop from the wrong side of the tracks, is now running the gambling business of Michael’s greatest rival, Roberto Enzo - and torn between the glamour and wealth of the casinos and the needs of her vulnerable young daughter. Both women have to confront their pasts, discover new loves, and find out the really important things in life before the greed and corruption of their worlds consume them.
