    About this ebook

    A perfect wife. A perfect home. A not-so-perfect husband. What possibly could go wrong?

    As a trial lawyer, Craig could face any situation and make it work. But facing his controlling wife and her lover (while they drank wine in his bed) turned out to need more than just a good plan.

    Craig needed to believe in his actions, every action, no matter how small. Or large.

    Bestselling author Dean Wesley Smith has written more than one hundred popular novels and well over 100 published short stories. His novels include the science fiction novel Laying the Music to Rest and the thriller The Hunted as D.W. Smith. With Kristine Kathryn Rusch, he is the coauthor of The Tenth Planet trilogy and The 10th Kingdom.

    He writes under many pen names and has also ghosted for a number of top bestselling writers.
