For as long as I can remember, I've had a boring, predictable life. I work at a low-paying job and have ho-hum missionary sex with my long-term boyfriend, who calls me "pear shaped" (and not in a good way). I've never been with more than one man or explored myself sexually. That's for sexy, skinny girls. Girls with exciting lives. Girls I'm not. When a series of events send my life into a tailspin, I find myself at a mansion in the Hollywood Hills, locking eyes with a gorgeous, sexy stranger who sends my heart racing. Our first night together is one I'll never forget. Or the next. Shockingly, he wants to pay me lots of money just to have me as his personal sex goddess. Best of all, he's not the only one. Soon, I'm discovering my sexuality for the first time, caught up in the exciting, glamorous world of high-class escorting. I'm also discovering myself: the independent, sexy, confident woman I was meant to be. Trouble is, I can't give my body without giving my heart. I'm falling in love with more than one man, and they with me. I can't choose just one . . . Or can I?

The decision is only yours. The wise choice is growth.

På en og samme tid udspiller sig en kaerlighedshistorie og en tragedie med adelsmanden Jørgen Lykke som centrum i 1500-tallets Danmark. Det er reformationstidens brydning mellem konge, adel og magt, som danner baggrunden, men først og fremmest er det den tragiske fortaelling om adelsmanden, som bliver mere og mere skruppelløs i sin jagt efter rigdom og magt. Thit Jensen selv mente, at hun havde en spirituel forbindelse til sine mange historiske figurer, som satte hende i stand til at portraettere dem akkurat, og som hun byggede fortaellingerne op ud fra. Denne spiritualitet praeger i høj grad både romanen Jørgen Lykke og Thit Jensens mange andre store historiske romaner.
