Publisher's Synopsis
"A good marriage is like sweet buttermilk." -Dr. Naomi Alexander
Suspicion at a dinner date turns into marital turmoil, and marriage counseling with shrewd but cagy psychiatrist Dr. Naomi Alexander is just the beginning.
Rick Phillips is living a comfortable married life with his wife, Viv, and their young daughter. But Viv reveals she's involved with someone else, and Rick's determination to make things right again leads him down a disastrous path, transforming him into a man with an intense, adventurous edge. An edge his wife is steadily warming to ...
Through marriage counseling with Dr. Alexander, with rounds of surprising disclosure for all in session, Rick and Viv begin salvaging their marriage (infused with invigorating episodes of steamy passion throughout), all the while testing the limits of Naomi's "sweet buttermilk" philosophy.
Naomi, however, knows everything is not as lovely as it appears, and Viv may be in danger-from the one person she trusts most. With one dead body to account for already, the domestic suspense heats up as the aloof psychiatrist becomes a most reluctant detective. But will she solve the "case" in time?
The marital stakes run high in this spicy relationship drama filled with marital strife, dark romance with a tense subplot, and tiny elements of the paranormal. But will love conquer all? Find out inside cagey psychiatrist Dr. Naomi Alexander's world of "sleuthing" therapy.
