Notorious party-loving ‘It Girl’ Lyric Charlton has it all – the lineage, the looks and the lifestyle. A moneyed upbringing at the heart of one of the upper class’s most well-connected families, a finishing school education and an address book bursting with the world’s most powerful and high-profile people has crowned her the glamorous poster girl for the aristocratic glitterati.But when her doomed relationship with suave boy-about-town Ralph Conway means she takes the good times too far, she is packed off to rehab by her worried parents, and the public shame and private humiliation that follow means Lyric’s only option seems to be to retreat into sober obscurity.But what no one can predict is the dramatic chain of events her exile sets in motion. For Lyric’s treatment is the start of much more than a life as an ex-addict. It’s the catalyst that exposes a complex web of deceit and betrayal – and leads Lyric on an increasingly dangerous quest to find the final missing piece of the jigsaw of her life…

The glamorous headline-grabbing Lyric Charlton has finally put her unhappy past behind her. She has her adoring family and a lover who worships her, but as Lyric has always known, life is a very uneven path, and things have a habit of tripping you up when you least expect it.When tragedy strikes at the heart of her family, Lyric’s world is once again thrown into turmoil. Before her very eyes everything she thought was safe now seems more fragile than ever.From the luxurious yachts on the Mediterranean to the super-charged atmosphere of the Melbourne Cup. From the brilliant white ski slopes of Klosters to the serenity of a Buddhist retreat, Infidelity is a tale of lovers and losers, cheaters and winners, as only Tara Palmer-Tomkinson can tell it.
