A Pound of Flesh

Author: Jackson, Sophie

Synopsis

Originally published as a work of fan fiction on www.ff.net, A Pound of Flesh has gone on to become an online phenomenon and an award-winning internet sensation. It has won a host of awards and attracted a staggering 4,5 million online reads.

When Lancashire school teacher Sophie Jackson, began writing fan fiction, posting it online in 2010, little did she know her New York-based prison romance, inspired by the bestselling Twilight series, would attract an incredible 4.5 million online reads, over 21,000 reviews, a raft of ‘fandom’ awards and result in multiple hot book deals at auction with large international publishers.

A tale of loyalty, love and redemption against the back drop of a seemingly impossible situation. A story in which a prison tutor learns from her student that – more than anything else – it’s not the label a person is given, but what’s on the inside that counts. It is a story that simply connects with people and proves utterly addictive.

 Testament to her compelling storytelling, powerful characters and its huge commercial appeal, the series has subsequently sold in major deals in several territories around the world ahead of publication.

Meet Wes Carter, the original bad boy hero it’s impossible to resist. Sexy, edgy, behind bars and with emotional scars as permanent as the ink on his skin. When English Literature teacher Kat Lane begins tutoring the inmates at a New York prison, it is her way of upholding the legacy of her father murdered sixteen years ago. But when new student Wes Carter walks into her classroom, she’s shaken by the strength of her attraction to him. From deeply opposing backgrounds their love is forbidden, but it won’t be denied. Can true love heal the deepest scars?
