about the book

We all have a “moral compass”, learned either from parents, religious leaders, school teachers or peers. It is basically a set of rules we live our life by. Some of us are unwavering in our direction, others are more liberal in the interpretation of their core values.This book attempts to explore what happens when these core values are challenged. It begs the question: “What would you do when confronted with huge risk or reward?” No matter what you say, it’s what you do that counts.Jayne’s Secret Temptation introduces you to colourful characters with a novel and new approach with a degree of humour and realism.It comes with a guaranteed surprise but is nonetheless a believable tale. You never know, it could actually happen!
