Announcing the release of my second novel, THE BACKUP WIFE, now available on Amazon and Kindle! https://www.createspace.com/6719525  

There were no warning signs that Naomi's once-blissful marriage would leave her worried about divorce only four years later. Aaron Gabrielli was everything she wanted in a husband: adventurous, smart, witty, incredibly handsome, and responsible for the best sex of her life. But ever since the birth of their daughter and moving to Los Angeles to pursue his career as an entertainment attorney, their marriage has begun to fail. Aaron is drowning in work, trying to make partner at his firm. Naomi has been transformed into a stay-at-home mom in stretch pants. And forget about sex. It's been almost a year since that's happened. She's about to turn thirty, but feels like she's twice that. Then out of the blue, she hears from Jesse Pike, her childhood sweetheart. Their mothers are still best friends, but Naomi hasn't spoken to, or even thought about, Jesse in ages. When he invites her to spend Thanksgiving with him at his cabin in the Yukon wilderness, she is torn between her desire for adventure and what the risk might ultimately mean for her marriage.
