'Infidelity' is such a sweet word, for an act of bastardy! Over 90% of women, married and single, regard infidelity as the greatest act of betrayal. But Rory Trembath is not concerned; he knows that if he can seduce the mind first, then the body is sure to follow.
The middle-aged Trembath, and Arabella Findlay, meet by chance, soon learning that they share an affinity, to stay in their marriages, but have discrete, racy sex, something long faded from their own lives.
Their affair, begun weeks ago in London, blossoms at the Hotel Balzac in Paris, before an act of 'happenstance', the asp in paradise, strikes, on the way back to London ... and changes everything.
Alliances are tested when denials fail, and the gamut of emotions are stoked by the fear, loss of esteem, financial gutting, that all come with middle age divorce. Should the 'bit on the side', become the 'bit cast aside', when 'salvage' creates its own agenda? Yet even reconciliation harbours its own secrets...
Review
'If ever you needed a reason NOT to have an affair, this book gives you that reason. It's fun, fast paced and the characters far too familiar-We loved it. www.book-reviewer.com'

There are different stages in everyone's life. When a man hits his mid-life crisis and decides on a little infidelity to brighten his world he cannot possibly imagine the consequences. This is an Aesop's Fable for grown-ups. With great characters and all too real circumstances. Fate may conspire to bring people together, but what happens when it grows bored with the game?
