Savannažina pobuřující přímost a zároveň hříšná přitažlivost Jareda nutí, aby se k ní neustále vracel. Jaká tajemství před ním Savannah skrývá? Podaří se mu je někdy odhalit? Čím víc Jared Savannah poznává, tím je odhodlanější zůstat s ní navždy.

Co se stane, když se v boji proti zločincům spojí lord a pastorova dcera? Jeden z nejžádanějších svobodných mládenců v Londýně, lord Kit Cavanaugh, konečně našel smysl života, ale do manželství se rozhodně nežene. Přestože ho uhánějí bohaté a vlivné matky dospívajících dcer, Kit má v hlavě jen svou kariéru – touží totiž v Bristolu vybudovat loděnici Cavanaugh Yachts. Slečna Sylvia Buckleberryová má už věk na vdavky, ale ani ona o manžela nestojí. Její vášní je totiž škola pro chudé děti, kterou v Bristolu zřídila. Jenže teď do jejích plánů zasáhl muž, o němž doufala, že se s ním už nikdy nesetká – lord Cavanaugh! Zdá se, že kvůli jeho zájmům bude muset svou školu zavřít! Ale Sylvia se jen tak snadno nevzdá! Brzy vyjde najevo, že existuje ještě někdo, kdo usiluje o zrušení nejen školy, ale i loděnice. Řada sabotáží donutí Kita i Sylvii ke spolupráci, aby odhalili hanebné ničemy, kteří ohrožují jejich budoucnost – a jak si oba záhy uvědomí – jejich společné štěstí.

‘I was saying things in songs that female singers didn’t really say back then. I wasn’t submissive or begging him to come back, I was kicking his ass, kicking him out, kicking my own ass too. My Blondie character was an inflatable doll but with a dark, provocative, aggressive side. I was playing it up, yet I was very serious.’ BRAVE, BEAUTIFUL AND BORN TO BE PUNK DEBBIE HARRY is a musician, actor, activist and the iconic face of New York City cool. As the front-woman of Blondie, she and the band forged a new sound that brought together the worlds of rock, punk, disco, reggae and hip-hop to create some of the most beloved pop songs of all time. As a muse, she collaborated with some of the boldest artists of the past four decades. The scope of Debbie Harry’s impact on our culture has been matched only by her reticence to reveal her rich inner life – until now. In an arresting mix of visceral, soulful storytelling and stunning visuals that includes never-before-seen photographs, bespoke illustrations and fan art installations, Face It upends the standard music memoir while delivering a truly prismatic portrait. With all the grit, grime, and glory recounted in intimate detail, Face It recreates the downtown scene of 1970s New York City, where Blondie played alongside the Ramones, Television, Talking Heads, Iggy Pop and David Bowie. Following her path from glorious commercial success to heroin addiction, the near-death of partner Chris Stein, a heart-wrenching bankruptcy, and Blondie’s break-up as a band to her multifaceted acting career in more than thirty films, a stunning solo career and the triumphant return of her band, and her tireless advocacy for the environment and LGBTQ rights, Face It is a cinematic story of a woman who made her own path, and set the standard for a generation of artists who followed in her footsteps – a memoir as dynamic as its subject.
