Publisher Description
Tessa was prepared for the hurricane. Lindsey was the storm she didn’t see coming.
When Tessa Taylor unlocked her husband Ethan’s iPad to discover nude photos from a twenty-six-year-old bombshell named Lindsey, her seemingly perfect life came to a screeching halt.
With a hurricane barreling toward Florida and Ethan stuck on a business trip, Tessa finds herself imprisoned in her own home with a choice to make: Does she ride out the storm until she can confront Ethan in person, or does she take matters into her own hands?
Increasingly restless and desperate for revenge, Tessa resolves to act. And when she lures Lindsey over a few hours later, there’s no turning back.
What ensues is a battle of wills between two well-matched opponents, blinded by love for the same man but driven by demons of their own. Like storm-ravaged Florida, neither woman will be the same when the skies clear.
He’s mine. Both wife and mistress would stake their lives on it. But only one of them can be right.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Repetitious dialogue and uninspiring characters mar this tale of domestic discord from Cole (Saving Beck). Right after Tessa Taylor drops two of her children in Atlanta for their annual three-week visit with her parents, she turns around for the five-hour drive back to Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., to meet her husband, Ethan, at their vacation home. The couple live the high life he's an architect who travels a lot for work; she owns Blush, a successful organic cosmetics company. But Ethan is stuck in New York, and Hurricane Fiona is barreling down on Florida. At the beach house, Tessa discovers proof on Ethan's iPad that he's having an affair with a 26-year-old nursing student, Lindsey Vale. Fuming with "inky red rage," Tessa pretends to be Nathan and sends a message to Lindsey inviting her to come over, strip, and handcuff herself to their bed. (Tessa gave Nathan handcuffs the previous Valentine's Day.) The setup is more suited to a short story than a novel, and the hurricane turns out to be just hot air a gimmick, not a threat. Fans of the author's romance novels will best appreciate this outing.
