What does it mean to be female? Mother, carer, the weaker sex? Think again. In the last few decades a revolution has been brewing in zoology and evolutionary biology. Lucy Cooke introduces us to a riotous cast of animals, and the scientists studying them, that are redefining the female of the species. Meet the female lemurs of Madagascar, our ancient primate cousins that dominate the males of their species physically and politically. Or female albatross couples, hooking up together to raise their chicks in Hawaii.

Waverly Sinner has everything she never wanted. Parts she doesn’t want to play, dangerously manipulative parents, and a public life devoid of any kind of privacy. She hides the panic attacks and the pain behind a movie-star smile and plots her escape. Until the sinfully sexy Xavier shows up to slam the door shut on her own private prison. But someone has been watching her, worshiping her, for years, and he’s about to make his very public, very deadly move. Can Xavier stand between her and danger, or will his feelings for Waverly dull his instincts and endanger them both?

No amount of time will make Xavier Saint forget her. Movie star Waverly Sinner has moved on. She calls the shots in her life now, and a newfound use for her acting talents keeps her too busy to worry about old scars. Now she’s got a gunshot wound and a missing fake boyfriend to find. When Xavier forces his way back into her life ready to play the hero again, Waverly pushes back. She’ll never trust the man who broke her heart, even if she desperately needs his help. Even if she’s tortured by memories of what it was like being worshiped by his battled-hardened body.
