NICHOLAS COLERIDGE

Nicholas Coleridge Miles Hunter is the handsome, confident and hugely successful Chairman of Hunter Public Relations, one of the top consultancies in the country. Miles is a man who enjoys many things: entertaining (at his vast Cotswold manor or his posh Notting Hill stucco), hunting (pheasants, women and new clients) and a dash of danger - whether in the boardroom, bedroom or the Cresta Run at St Moritz. There is one thing, however, that Miles definitely does not like: the nouveau-riche Clegg family newly moved in across the valley to Chawbury Manor. Their new house is spoiling his view and their new money is spoiling his business plans. Worst of all, some new blood in the valley is more than enough to send hormones raging. With three children apiece, and some not-very-grown ups at the head of the dynasties, ''make not love, not war'' definitely isn''t going to lead to happy families in this case. A rollercoaster ride across generations, continents and class, Nicholas Coleridge''s delicious new blockbuster is packed with scandal, glamour and devilishly sharp social observation. Have you heard the one about the air hostess, the call girl and the peer of the realm? You will do soon
