Art consultant Annette Remmington is floating on cloud nine
thanks to the record-breaking sale of a famous Rembrandt
during her first auction. Art has always been close to
Annette's heart and a sale that large has made her career.
Annette's husband of 21 years, though controlling and
somewhat manipulative, believes in capitalizing on
Annette's success and wants a journalist to do an article
on her. Annette fears the past may come back to haunt her,
but meeting journalist Jack Chalmers brings out more
feelings than just fear.
Marius Remmington's wife is beginning to make a name for
herself in the art world. The Rembrandt sale puts her in
the spotlight and what better way to get more exposure than
an article featuring the woman of the hour. Marius will of
course handpick the journalist for the job, once he
convinces Annette to agree to the interview. Marius decides
on journalist Jack Chalmers based on his past articles and
his success, never knowing that secrets from the past are
about to haunt them all.
PLAYING THE GAME is an intelligent romantic love story that
keeps you in suspense until the very end. A very clever
read!
Annette Remmington, a London art consultant and private
dealer, is at the top of her game. She is considered a
rising star in the international world of art, and has a
roster of wealthy clients who trust her judgment and her
business acumen. Her success reaches new heights when a rare
and long lost Rembrandt finds its way into her hands, which
she restores and sells for top dollar. Called the auction of
the year, Annette becomes the most talked about art dealer
in the world.
Annette is married to her mentor and personal champion, the
much older Marius Remmington. For twenty years, Marius has
groomed her into the international art star that she has
become, not to mention saving her from a dark and gritty
past. She is his pride and joy, and as her best advisor,
it’s with great care that he hand picks only the best
journalist possible to do a profile on his beloved wife in a
popular London Sunday newspaper. Jack Chalmers is a bit of a
celebrity himself, becoming one of the top journalists of
his time. Marius believes only he will be able to capture
the true brilliance of his lovely wife.
But Marius never intends to put his marriage in jeopardy.
How could he have known that the connection between Jack and
Annette would ignite so many secrets? And how could he know
that Jack would uncover a scandal that could ultimately
destroy them all? Barbara Taylor Bradford does it again in
this epic novel of seduction, passion and international
intrigue. Playing the game has never been so thrilling.
