Love in Shades of Greyis the latest novel from New Zealand author Glynne MacLean that centres around Claire, a very strong woman who has everything going for her: a devoted husband, a great home in Wellington, and the possibility of the job of her dreams.
But suddenly her health begins to deteriorate, and the week that she finds out she has the green light to write a full length Opera to be performed in Italy, her life falls apart. She finds out she is dying, her husband is killed and she is left without the money to pursue her dreams.
But nothing is going to stop Claire from achieving what she wants to before she checks out. She moves to Australia, where she enters the sex industry in order to pay her bills and complete her opera before she dies.
Then she is given a fantastic opportunity to enter into a sexual contract with one man only: however she must abide by his very strict terms. Claire thinks this is not going to present any problems – after all, she has nothing to lose. Or does she?
An unusual love story with well defined characters, an insight into the seedy underbelly of big business, the sex industry and murder… Love in the Shades of Grey is a must read.
