Publisher Description

He cheated. Now he has to earn his wife back, one date with another man at a time.

Sela and August Prescott Jacobsen have been married for twenty years. Two kids. A life in Manhattan. A marriage that, somewhere along the way, became a routine instead of a romance.

Then August turns forty-seven—the same age his father was when he died—and the panic he’s been outrunning for years finally catches him. One reckless night with a woman from work shatters everything.

He confesses, expecting fury, even divorce. Instead, Sela decides on something else. Revenge. If he got to sleep with someone else, so should she.

If that’s what it takes to save their marriage, August will help her do it. He’ll be her wingman. He’ll sit away from her at candlelit bars while other men date his wife. He’ll watch her laugh for someone else and pretend it isn’t killing him.

Because sometimes you have to break a marriage to rebuild it. And sometimes the man who betrayed you is still the man you love.

Set against a sparkling New York City during the holidays, Guilt & Glitter features your favorite tropes: Marriage in Crisis, Betrayal & Grovel, Other Woman Drama, Infidelity (please read the triggers), Holiday/Christmas, Complete Standalone, HEA (between the main couple).

Trigger Warning: This book contains the hero’s infidelity, a one-night stand, which is not graphically depicted. If adultery is painful or triggering for you, please take care of yourself and skip this book. Your wellbeing always matters more than a story.

Author’s Note: This book has a happy ending between the main couple; so, if you like romances where the heroine finds a new man, this book isn’t for you. But if you like a book where the scorned heroine goes scorched-earth, and the hero goes full-on grovel, keep reading…
