My Husband's Mistress Had a Husband (The Betrayed Spouses Club #1)

Her husband’s mistress signed the guestbook. In hearts. Fourteen times.

A short, steamy standalone marriage in crisis romance where she wins — a romance with the other woman’s husband, no grovel, no reconciliation, no cliffhanger. One sitting. Any order.

Every invoice for the beach condo Bridget Garvey’s family co-owns crosses her desk and leaves it initialed in her own handwriting.

Which means her own hand approved fourteen turnover cleanings for weeks nobody booked — hotel standard, midweek, off-season, half of it paid out of her own household.

Eighteen years of marriage taught her exactly one thing: the moment you accuse, they stop answering you and start managing you.

So she doesn’t accuse. She pulls the last two years of records.

Dean Bickford has been putting out this town’s fires for twenty years.

One conversation at the right firehouse table and everybody would know by dinner — and his wife would deserve every second of it.

He doesn’t have that conversation. He prints his own shift rosters instead, drives them to a woman he’s met twice, sets them on her desk, and waits for her to decide what they’re worth.

He doesn’t push once. Bridget, who has spent eighteen years being handled, discovers she cannot stop noticing his hands while he waits.

So they write four rules on a legal pad, and the fourth is the one neither of them will say out loud.

Craig and Shelby have already chosen the room where they’ll take the condo: the annual owners’ meeting, twenty days out, sixty-two chairs, every owner Bridget has worked for in eleven years.

Every day she stays quiet, there will be more people in that room when it lands.
