  This book follows straight after the first book; “Paying the Price 1”.  
  Layla Turnbull, a single mother, lives with her eighteen-year-old daughter, Chloe, in an ordinary semi-detached house in North London. Chloe is taking her final exams soon and she needs a distinction in Maths to get the University place she wants. The best maths tutor in town lives just four doors down on the same street and Layla asks him to be Chloe’s tutor, but unfortunately, there's a price to pay. The tutor, Master Matchek, comes from Czechoslovakia and has an unusual system that includes spanking the students when they make mistakes or break any of his rules. Not only that, the tutor believes that the mothers are also at fault so he insists that they present themselves for the same punishment later on the same day.  
  Layla agrees to the price she has to pay to make sure her daughter gets the distinction she requires. While doing the extra lessons Chloe meets Mary, another student in the class and they become firm friends, with benefits. Mary’s mother and Layla also get together and this book is about their relationships.  
  Chloe had been late for her last lesson so her mother, Layla, had to receive the same punishment later on the same day, only the parent’s punishment was doubled. Layla had been in the Mall with her friend June that evening when she learnt that Chloe had been punished so she asked June to drop her off for her punishment on the way home.

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  Let yourself be abducted into a world of terraformed androids, organ-based dialogs, unclean revivals, psilocybin-induced travels into the demonlands, and much more.

  Henrietta Dorothy Huskisson was born in January 1851 in Gillingham, Kent. 
  Little reliable information on her life is available and almost nothing on her early life.   
  The first concrete information concerns her marriage at age 18 to the solicitor Isaac Edward Everett. 
  It was only at the age of 44 that she began her literary career under the pseudonym of Theo Douglas, a popular device in a society that still frowned upon women writing for income. 
  During her lifetime she was a popular author and wrote 22 books and those were published by 17 different publishers. 
  Although she wrote some historical novels her main output was centered on fantasy and supernatural themes. 
  Henrietta Dorothy Everett died in Weston-on-Trent in Derbyshire in September 1923.
