'A funny, engaging, naughty and unpredictable book' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'She's done it again!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The addictive and insightful sequel to Adele Parks's instant bestseller Playing Away
What happens after happily ever after?
Rose thought she had it all, but her perfect life crumbled when her so-called friend seduced her husband and destroyed her marriage. Now Rose is left without any passion, romance or plans for the future . . .
Lucy believed she finally had her fairy-tale ending, but being the wife isn't half as glamorous as being the mistress. When excitement and thrills give way to more chat about cleaning and the kids, it's not very . . . her.
They desperately envy Connie: happily married, effortlessly juggling two children and a fulfilling career. Connie has found genuine contentment. Until, that is, a dangerous old flame flickers back into view . . .
Will she be tempted to play with fire again?

Adele spent her adult life in Italy, Botswana and London until 2005 when she moved to Guildford, where she now lives with her husband and son.
