Belle (real name Hannah Baxter) is now juggling being Hannah, a high-class independent escort and a published author. At work she is in total control and a complete professional—the ultimate seductive call girl. But being an author isn't so easy, especially when she only has three months to write her second book. Only one man seems to understand her, Duncan, her editor. Is this a man with whom Belle can make a relationship work?

Despite being just 27 years old, Billie Piper has crammed more into her career
than most people manage in a lifetime. Piper signed a record deal at the
age of 15 that would mark the beginning of a hugely successful career,
producing two successful albums and three number one singles—the first
"Because We Want To"—made her the youngest artist to debut at
number one on the UK charts.
Her real passion lay in acting however, and in 2003 she hung up the microphone
and began to pursue her true ambition. She quickly found roles in the BBC
series The Canterbury Tales and Bella and the Boys.
Both performances were critically acclaimed confirming her obvious talent for drama.
This trend of securing critical acclaim for great performances was furthered in her
roles in period dramas such as Ruby in the Smoke and Mansfield Park.
It was her role as 'Rose Tyler' in the revamped and immensely popular Doctor Who that
would bring further success. Piper's portrayal of Rose won her the
"Most Popular Actress" award at the 2005 and 2006 National Television Awards.
A string of other awards and lead roles followed, in a period that saw her leave
Doctor Who and land the lead in ITV2's Secret Diary of a Call Girl.
The first episode attracted 1.8 million viewers which lead the way for the first
and second seasons to become the highest-rated series on the network to date.
Secret Diary of a Call Girl has become a global phenomenon thanks
to Piper's engaging portrayal of Belle.
