The Professional Guest

Blake Boddington has the face of an angel and the soul of a drifter. Jobless and dangerously magnetic, he survives on charm and the generosity of women who can't help but keep him 'afloat'. Brooke, a budding psychology student, sees Blake as more than a shipwreck: he's her test case, a perfect project - as well as a chance to turn chaos into something lasting. But Blake is never just one person. Shifting from tenderness to recklessness, he pulls Brooke into a life of wild adventure and devastating lows, always just alluring enough to keep her hooked, even when her safety is in the balance. For him, it's survival at any cost. For her, each heartbreak is a chance to prove she can heal him. As Brooke clings to adventure, and the promise of something more than ordinary life, she realises she might actually love Blake, despite his flaws. A true story of grit, pity and hunger, Brooke must decide whether she's curing Blake - or losing herself to him. The Professional Guest asks how far love will go before it becomes the very thing that kills you. But Brooke was never one to give up - she wants what she wants - and if she can't find it, she will make it.
