description: Welcome to the world of The Channel, a secretive, exclusive interactive cable network, run by and for women, which issues special invitations to certain ones, allowing them to explore their most secret, intimate fantasies...no matter what their desires might be.Ashley, The Bad Luck Bride of Egret Point, Kimbrough, appears on the outside to have everything a woman could want. Wealthy, successful and a satisfying and very active sex life thanks to her visits to The Channel, Ashley has a problem. Thanks to her grandfather's will, she must marry by the time she is thirty-five-within the next eighteen months-or lose it all. She has a problem, that is, until Ryal Mulcahy comes into her life. This handsome multi-millionaire with a Celtic warrior's body and drop-dead gorgeous face makes all her fantasies in The Channel come to life and run wilder than anything she has experienced in real life. When Ryan agrees to a marriage of convenience to fulfill the terms of the will, Ashley wonders whether she can use her experience from The Channel on her very unsuspecting husband.
