In 1963, when traditional values are coming under
attack, a young woman in her twenties, Venetia
Flaxton, becomes disastrously involved with her best
friend's father, the powerful, dynamic but
ultimately mysterious Dean of Starbridge Cathedral.
Yet, as a married man and a senior Churchman,
Aysgarth has nothing to offer her but an admiration
which spirals out of control into an obsessive love.
As Aysgarth begins to take scandalous risks to
further their friendship, pressures rise and
the dangers multiply. Venetia finds herself trapped
in a desperate web of love and lies from which
it seems impossible to escape.
Witty, compassionate and compelling, Scandalous
Risks explores not only the reality of sin and
the fantasy of sexual obsession, but the overpowering
human need for redemption, love and
lasting happiness.
