One of today۪s most beloved writers, the incomparable Phillips follows up her utterly beguiling hit, Call Me Irresistible with a sequel that۪s equally impossible to resist. Returning in The Great Escape are some of Phillips۪s most adored characters, including headstrong, impetuous ex-president۪s daughter, Lucy Jorik, who۪s just abandoned her fianc̩, Ted Mr. Irresistible۝ Beaudine, at the altar. Now she۪s looking for adventureand perhaps a little romanceembarking on a wild and hilariously unpredictable road trip that begins on the back of a rather menacing-looking stranger۪s motorcycle.
