“Find ’em, kiss ’em, bed ’em and leave ’em” is an old adage given as worldly advice by cynical doyens to their North Country sons. Since the age of 14, Peter Holmes has lived by this premise, with an additional codicil: “If they have money, take some of it from them.” Romance to Peter Holmes is a charade, a job, a means to an end, but that doesn’t mean to say there is no enjoyment.The sexual adventures of the great lotharios – Don Juan and Casanova – are well recorded, but not so those of Peter Holmes, and that’s how he likes it. Publicity is the last thing he wants. Peter is a hustler, a con-man first-class. His prey: very rich women, any shape, any size, any age.His journey into their heart, into their bed, into their bank balance and into thin air is the way he works. Good looks, good education, good manners and good bedmanship are the attributes that are making him rich. His theatre: luxury cruise ships travelling to exotic places.Peter Holmes’s exploits take him to destinations scheduled, and some not, but he is always in control. Or is he?
