Description

A wonderfully compelling novel which looks unflinchingly at the power of sexual attraction and what can happen when people give into their desires. A page-turning portrait of a contemporary marriage where all is not quite as perfect as it seems.

‘A tense and sharply observed portrait of love and obsession’ Daily Mail

Ryan and Emily have it all, successful jobs, a beautiful house and the secret to a happy marriage. A secret that involves certain ‘rules’. But beneath the surface trouble is brewing in the shape of Ada.  Whimsical and free spirited, she represents the freedom Emily’s been striving for and the escape that Ryan didn’t know he wanted.  As they are separately, and secretly, drawn to her, things start to unravel.
