MAIN CHARACTERS/ROLES

been working on a novel almost all her adult life.

which she now runs as a spa hotel with her husband Luke. She's also
attractive, but in a much more conventional way than her friend Miranda.

Luke is Phoebe's husband and
slightly younger than her. He's a good looking lounge lizard but
quite aggressive and his money-making schemes don't always go to plan.

A personal trainer at the spa,
Julian is a dopey hunk with bulging abs and pecs.

who's a keen golfer. He's in his late 30s but already going to seed.

Kenny's wife Kitty is a regular
client at Swavely Manor. She's attractive but raddled and needs
regular therapy to revive her.

Miranda and dislikes Luke.
