Why would Zane do this? And why did he pick me to commit adultery with?
“How could he do that? How could he do this to me? What was I? A goddamn fag hag? Or an experiment to see if he can still get it up for women? What’s he doing chasing skirt if he’s gay?” I start to cry again and it’s only because it’s Marina that I don’t feel like a complete idiot. This woman is like my sister and I’ve never been more relieved to have her for a friend.
“No! Stop it, Mona. Don’t be dumb. Some men aren’t…” She breaks off, sucks in a breath and starts again. I can tell she’s trying to convince both herself and me. “If he’s bi, sometimes, he might need a change. He might love his husband but he just needs something a little different, that’s all. It’s a compliment. He picked you over all the other women in that club. And he was hot. H-O-T!”
“He made me a party to adultery.” My voice is high-pitched and nigh on close to panic. As I look at the man Zane legally bound himself to five years ago, a great wave of guilt gushes through me.
I helped this man’s husband cheat on him.
We broke an oath together.
That might not mean a lot to some people, but it does to me. I don’t live my life by my parents’ rules anymore, but their mores are deeply rooted in my own belief system. If Zane’s husband discovers what we did together, that will make me a home-wrecker.
A fucking home-wrecker.
Me. Mona Barranquet. The only cleaner on her boss’ lists who doesn’t steal cleaning supplies from the company.
I wish to God I’d never left my card there this morning.
What if he calls me?
What the hell will I do? What will I say to him?
“I’ve got to go, Marina. I think I’m going to be sick.”
It’s a lie. If anything, I want to fall asleep and pretend last night didn’t happen. Lying is the only way to get my well-meaning best friend off the phone, though.
“Mona!” she snaps. “Don’t you dare put your goddamned phone down. Listen to me, do not be stupid. You had sex with him; you didn’t make a commitment. If anyone’s in the wrong, it’s him.”
She might be right, but that doesn’t stop me from feeling used, jaded and degraded. What had been a perfect night, what had enlightened me to the way sex can really be, has all turned to ashes.
I’ve been burnt. Badly.
But it won’t happen again.
If Zane comes anywhere near me, he’ll draw back a nub. No more Mrs. Nice Guy.
That’s a vow, and unlike him, I don’t break mine.

MONA
Simone Barranquet is in a rut. In fact, her life is one huge rut. Until she falls into Zane Matthews' (The Zane Matthews!) arms and unwittingly finds herself.
But even then, life can't hand Mona a candy bar. There's always something bittersweet to spoil her happiness and in this instance, it's Zane's husband.
Yeah. Husband!
Can Mona wade through the fallout to find her own Happy Ever After? Or is she destined to lead a Zane-free and love-free life?
If she can grab the bull by the balls, then maybe, just maybe she can.
But does she have enough cojones of her own to do just that?

MARINA
Marina Denison causes more havoc than a tropical storm. Her life is complicated, so complex she's become a danger to herself and those close to her.
Nate Conroy is the man to tame Marina, because if anyone needs de-bratting, it's Ms. Denison. His methods are unique and are a revelation for Marina. Through him, she comes to terms with a side of her nature she didn't realize existed.
With a Sir to please, she has no time for mischief, but like a magnet, she attracts it. While a spanking (Several of them!!) has reaped miracles, it doesn't stop a murderer from running wild or from putting both Sir and princess in peril...
