BLURB
Sadie Hunt isn’t perfect—but her husband is. Nathan Hunt has her coffee
waiting every morning. He holds her hand until the last second. He worships the
Manhattan sidewalk she walks on. Until one day, he just…stops. And Sadie finds
herself in the last place she ever expected to be. Lonely in her marriage.
When rugged and sexy Finn Cohen moves into the apartment across the hall,
he and Sadie share an immediate spark. Finn reveals dreams for a different
life. Sadie wants to save her marriage. Their secrets should keep them apart,
not ignite a blistering affair. But while Sadie’s marriage runs colder by the
day, she and Finn burn hotter.
Her husband doesn’t want her anymore. The man next door would give up
everything to have her.

EXCERPT
After
spending two hours outdoors getting my headshots taken by Finn, I slide into
the backseat of the Uber with Finn, grateful to be back inside. He puts an arm
around my shoulders and draws me to him. “Cold?”
I
should pull away. Once I have it, though, his warmth is impossible to reject
and feels as necessary as breathing. “A little.”
He
squeezes me closer. Moves his hand up and down my bicep. “You’re shivering.”
The
driver looks at us in the rearview mirror. “You guys are a cute couple.”
“Thanks,”
I say.
Finn
arches an eyebrow, pleased—because she thinks we’re together, or because I
didn’t correct her? I don’t even want to correct her. I’ve missed the look
she’s giving us, the one a woman makes when she’s more envious than jealous. I
get it all the time with Nathan. That feeling, coupled with the heater blasting
from the front seat, leaves me slightly woozy.
We’re
just like actors in a movie, I tell myself. This isn’t real. It doesn’t count.
After a few minutes, the urgency to get warm lessens, and the door opens to
another less pressing, but still basic need. Because that’s how my arousal
feels—essential. The more it’s ignored, the fiercer it grows. I snuggle into
his side. All it takes is his hand on my upper thigh to invite an assault of
graphic fantasies. Finn shoving me down on the backseat because he can’t
control himself anymore. Thrusting his fingers under the hem of my dress to
find me ready for him. The lower half of my body aches with sudden demands.
“Some
of those photos we just took were for me,” he whispers in my ear. He couldn’t
have chosen a worse moment to tease me. My legs are jelly-like. “Does that make
you mad?”
I
check to see if the driver is paying attention. She must know I’m married. How
can something so vital and concrete in my life be hidden? “What if I say yes?”
I ask.
“I’ll
delete them. If you’re sure it doesn’t . . . turn you on.”
I try
not to pant. “Why would it?”
“Imagining
me looking at them later.”
I turn
my head. Our mouths are a breath apart. One more inch, and they’ll touch.
Again. Those lips are the color of sunburnt rock but whisper soft. We’ve done
it once. Would one more kiss hurt? I can’t stop the image of him looking at me,
my exposed, white throat on his computer, his cock in a firm fist. It should
disgust me. It makes my panties damp instead.
“No
response necessary,” he says as the car pulls up to the curb. “I can read it on
your face.”
