Tempting Faye Sallyann Rohleder

Summertime 2000, and for shy Faye Raleigh, the number eight seems to always greatly affect her fate... Eight years on from her best friend's brother going missing, enduring a night out in Essex, Faye encounters old foes. In the midnight hour of July 8th, one man in particular has her most stirred; now mixing music and rousing bittersweet emotions in her again. From thereon, impelled to scratch beneath the surface of her secret affliction and stagnating relationship, what ensues is a bunch of a hideous consequences tied up in some fresh pleasures and a salvo of revelations. Feeling the heat from things beyond her control, can Faye dig deep enough to find places in her heart for those who have betrayed and shocked her? Whilst others close to her struggle to do the same, 'Tempting Faye' is a poignant portrayal of self-discovery, sabotage, reinvention and the shift in dynamics between friends, family and lovers - incited through synchronistic events and dilemmas that shape their twenties adulthood. For some, the temptation to gratify their own needs will always come first, and the cruellest twists of fate are yet to surface in this saga combining comedy with calamity and their second coming of age.
