    Summary

    I know logically that there is no good reason to cheat on your husband, no matter how insufferable he is or how much you despise each other. But my marriage to Richard wasn’t about love or commitment. I know that. He knows that so some extent. I don’t think he would be pleased, as he’s always been a little too possessive for my tastes, but he wouldn’t be devastated. In fact, he would probably jump at the chance to divorce me on such solid grounds.

    I just have to decide if that’s a risk I’m willing to take.

    Percy breaks our kiss, smiling against my lips as he rubs the nape of my neck. I find myself leaning forward, chasing his mouth with mine. He laughs a little but indulges me with another kiss. His hand on my neck goes to my hair. Every touch is so gentle that I never want him to stop touching me. I want to be covered by him and his soft kisses.

     

    As a last-ditch resort, Henry marries his childhood enemy-with-benefits Richard Peele. In need of a distraction from his tumultuous marriage, he joins a local Shakespeare production where he forms an unexpected, and risky, connection with a member of the orchestra.
