For those of you who have read Book Three, Wicked Lord, you'll remember that Edward Chase, Lord Redding, has a sister Alizabet Standifer, Lady Archer. She has been married less than a year to Charles, but alas, there marriage is not made in heaven.
So here is the blurb with which I enticed my publisher, Ellora's Cave. The title is WICKED SECRETS.
The Earl of Archer, Charles Standifer’s infatuation with his wife has
turned into the cold reality of marriage misery. Vows are not so easily broken
but when he gives into temptation all the secrets of the past threaten to destroy
them and their marriage. He would give anything to have his wife, but she will
have none of him.
The reserved and compassionate Alizabet, Lady Archer knows she will never
please her husband in ways that matter to men yet she cannot deny the love she
has for him in spite of the heartbreaking betrayal.
He has never doubted her affection for him, but that has done nothing to
assuage his sexual need. When Charles discovers the revelation of Alizabet’s
shocking past, can he be the man and husband she needs? Or will he forever be
denied his rights to the alluring yet unattainable woman he calls wife?
So I must warn you now, if you didn't pick it up in the above blurb: There is an affair - a no excuses, out in the open affair. We all know this happens but the real trick is the attempt to redeem the hero. I know some readers think that this is very unheroic to portray such an event but for those who have read the Wicked Affairs series you know that all of the books involve the troubles of marriage. And we know that institution is far from perfect.
What do you think? Is it impossible to write a true, fulfilling romance when an affair is a large part of the story?

Very intriguing synopsis! And SEXY cover!
Janemary, Yes, loved the cover. I wanted the cover to show a loving couple, not just a sexy couple. It was a very moving story to write and I think it might be one of my favorites. (I probably say that about all of them.)
Can hard;ly wait to read this one. When is the release date for it?
Sorry, I don't have the release date yet, but the manuscript is with my editor now! I'll post the date as soon as I know. E.
hello, I've searched the ebook of this book on Amazon.com but it's not available. Where can I find the ebook version of this book? Thank you very much.
HI Maureen, Thanks for asking! Wicked Secrets (and the other 5 books in the Wicked Affairs series) is available on Amazon. The cover may look a little different since I redid them a few years ago. The books is also on Barnes and Noble and Kobo, Apple and a few other places. Happy reading. E.
