Description
In the Hamptons, no rules apply, especially in matters of money—and the heart Raised in East Hampton, Caroline never thought she’d be one of the “city people” who spend summers and weekends at the beach. But once her husband’s business takes off, a job stint transplants the couple permanently into Manhattan life—where the phrase “When you marry for money, you work for it every day” reflects her neighbors’ lives. And where entitled spouses, like hers, embark on affair after affair with little consequence. Time for the wives to get even. When Caroline’s friend Annabelle suggests they experiment as their wayward mates have, Caroline resists at first. That is, until a scroll through an iPad makes her reconsider . . . and a pact between two friends is made. The agreement quickly turns serious when Caroline begins to confront the man her husband has become, or perhaps always has been. Will a summer affair give Caroline clarity or make her lose hold on the reins of her life? And when an old lover returns, is she ready to risk all for a chance at happiness?
