Publisher's Synopsis
Malone Meredith is a competitive figure skater until an injury ends her skating career and an unexpected surprise ends her marriage. Divorced and out of work at 22, she embarks on a series of odd jobs and even odder sexual relationships that lead her to a fateful moment at a bar in Las Vegas.
Charlene "Charlsie" Bowman is engaged, with a promising new job at a car rental company. But, at 34, she wants something more out of life. That more ends up being Ray, a devilishly handsome customer who arrives at her rental counter and turns her once-boring life upside down. 46-year-old Elouise "Elle" Dennis is happily married to her second husband, Cliff, until a health crisis throws their relationship into chaos. Each was bright, attractive, charismatic, and loving. But each has a hole in her heart that needs to be filled. When that void gets filled by bad choices and unexpected consequences, each woman embarks on a path that threatens to undo them. How each one reacts under pressure leads to three sensual stories of love and regrets, lust and deception, mistakes and pain. Things We Shouldn't Do (Book One) and Things We Shouldn't Fear (Book Two) take readers on parallel journeys of self-discovery and self-destruction. Each story is a morality play for our time, opening the Pandora's Box of taboo behaviors and socially questionable conduct. What is okay in the privacy of one's own love life may be objectionable to others, but we all get to make our own choices and live with the consequences. Couples Malone & Kyle, Charlsie & Ray, and Elle & Cliff represent all of us. Because at the end of the day, we all have to live with the things we know we shouldn't have done.
