Other People's Marriages

The Wages of Love and Betrayal

Newly widowed and still young, beautiful Nina Cort aches from the lingering pain of her loss. Her broken heart has brought her back home to Grafton--and into a close- knit circle of five affluent, seemingly happily married couples.

The Frosts, Ransomes, Cleggs, Roses and Wickhams--they offer her friendship and stability, and the love she desperately needs to heal and get on with life. But all is not as it seems on the surface--as forbidden desire draws Nina into a turbulent whirl of secrets, lies and infidelities that could devastate five perfect unions... and destroy everyone caught up in the dance.

In a year from which none of them will emerge unscathed, when the threads between them stretch and break and then rearrange the picture in altered ways, the five families and Nina discover that you can never know the fabric of other people's marriages.
