The Australian

Men of the World, Book 1

By: J.O Mantel

Narrated by: Glen Lloyd

Twelve countries. Twelve men. Twelve million dollars!

When Deacon Brady scored his dream job as the lead actor in an award-winning daytime soap opera, he had the entire world at his feet. Racking up an impressive list of awards and voted People Magazine’s sexiest man alive, the world was his oyster, and he was living it to the fullest at the top of the A-list.

But then everything changed....

The latest Global Financial Crisis, and the crash of Wall Street, not only leaves Deacon bankrupt, but single, depressed and millions in debt.

But when a TV producer approaches him on the street, he arranges a private meeting and makes Deacon a proposition too good to refuse.

With Deacon struggling to make ends meet, the producer offers him an opportunity that will not only pay off his debts, but provide a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that his daredevil heart can't ignore.

The deal: Appear in the new reality TV show, Tainted Love. Travel to 12 countries, meet 12 sexy, single guys, and be paid 12 million dollars. But the deal of a lifetime doesn’t come without a price.

He can't allow himself to fall in love, or he risks losing not only the 12 million dollars, but his heart, in the process. First stop - Sydney, Australia.
