My husband wanted an open marriage.
He just didn’t expect it to be open for me.
After twenty years of marriage, Bennett brought his mistress to my dinner table and expected me to approve the affair they’d already been having for ten months.
He wanted freedom. Excitement. Laurel.
He also wanted his loyal wife waiting at home, protecting the life I’d built for us.
So I agreed to his rules on one condition: every freedom he claimed for himself belonged to me too.
Bennett laughed.
At forty-eight, he was certain no other man would want the predictable, middle-aged wife he’d stopped seeing.
Then I met Nate Delaney.
Nate is fifty-three, broad-shouldered, infuriatingly observant, and very clear that he won’t be used as evidence in my revenge. He wants me to choose him because I want him, not because Bennett deserves to suffer.
The problem is, I do want him.
And the moment Bennett realizes I might genuinely choose another man, the rules change. He comes after my company, my reputation, and the Brooklyn house he still believes belongs to him.
He thinks I’m still the wife who’ll quietly clean up his mess.
He’s about to discover I kept every receipt.
He wanted a wife waiting at home and a mistress in his bed.
Instead, he’s going to lose both in front of everyone who believed I would never make him pay.
Fast-paced and steamy, this standalone later-in-life betrayal and revenge romance delivers a cheating husband, a one-sided open marriage, a walkaway wife, mature new love, public consequences, a rejected grovel, and absolutely no reconciliation.
