Synopsis
Rust
Published by Nick Hern Books
1 Male 1 Female
In fact, they have quite a few
They've just signed on the dotted line for a studio flat
Under a pseudonym Mr and Mrs White
And now - after years of school pick-ups, TV takeaways, and the day-to-day drudgery of married life - this is their chance to wipe the slate clean
But as much as they try and redefine the rules, and themselves, the outside world is closing in...
Ultra-contemporary, sexy and funny, Rust pushes the boundaries of trust, love and lust to the limit
