Love, Lies and Infidelity

Suddenly, she was assailed by a wicked desire to mesh her mouth to his outrageously sensuous one and engage in a kiss, the type of which she hadn't experienced in years, open-mouthed with tongues and carnal in intensity. As her body temperature suddenly veered to the extreme, Sidonie gasped, horrified at just where her thoughts had taken her. Were these the kind of emotions that raced through one's body and mind when conducting an affair? Was this what his wife and, in fact, her very own partner sought: the thrill of engaging in something that was forbidden, the strong taste of lust so powerful that it could shred every single ounce of common sense in your brain? When forty-seven-year-old food stylist and photographer, Sidonie Maxim finds herself in a loveless long-term relationship, her best friend, Ginny, is determined to ease her misery and get her into bed with another man - namely her boss, Jackson Redman. Despite Ginny's insistence, Sidonie considers Jackson the last man on earth she could ever envision herself sleeping with. In fact, she positively loathes the man. Their association was acrimonious at best and each time they met, without fail, it ended in conflict. Besides, Ginny's insane plan was severely flawed. Jackson was married, and Sidonie would never contemplate committing adultery. But fate continued to bring them together until they could no longer avoid getting to know one another. Inevitably, they found themselves becoming inexplicably and dangerously drawn to each other. With Jackson's marriage crumbling around him, and the discovery of her own partner's infidelity, neither of them could have envisioned just where their attraction would lead them next.
