His life is one of clear skies, calm waters, and smooth sailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust over the horizon, however, a wave is building that threatens to change his entire life. A harmless trip to a swingers club, an attempt to try something different, leads them to Collin. The handsome, rich black man immediately enthralls Nicole, his gorgeous Latin wife, and the feeling is mutual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat follows is an exciting, gut-wrenching ride for everyone—especially Nick, who has to come to terms with his wife’s infatuation for a man who desires her. Nick is faced with a choice: remove Collin from their lives and risk his wife’s happiness, or allow Collin to remain in their lives, and risk his marriage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe stayed for a little while longer, and Nicole danced with a few other guys, but the energy that we’d felt earlier left with Collin. Only thirty minutes had passed since he left, and she mentioned she’d like to go home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“We need to talk anyway,” she said as we left.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce we got on the road, I couldn’t wait any longer. “You wanna help me understand your behavior tonight?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“God, I’m so embarrassed.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe buried her face in her hands for several seconds, but when she faced me again I could see more excitement than embarrassment. I wondered if she was about to beg for forgiveness, or ask for permission to do it again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I’m sorry, honey,” she started and put her hand on my shoulder. “I got carried away tonight, and I apologize.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Yeah, you caught me by surprise. I didn’t think we were going to become swingers tonight.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“We’re not,” she assured me. “I love you and I don’t want to swing with random couples we meet in a club. That just doesn’t interest me.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Okay,” I dragged the word out. “What does interest you? You seemed to really like Collin, but he’s a single guy, and I thought…..well shit, I’m not sure what I thought, or you thought, or we thought. Ugh! I’m so damn confused, baby. What hell are we doing?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe stared out the window for a few minutes before turning back to me. “Do you really want to know what I’m thinking? Honestly. Do you really want to know, because I love you and don’t want to hurt your feelings, and I don’t want to jeopardize our marriage?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Jeopardize our marriage? When did our marriage get put on the chopping block?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomewhere along the way, we’d jumped into the deep end of the pool and felt like I could barely tread water. Our marriage was fine when we left the house, now it was in jeopardy?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“It’s not. I’m sorry; I’m not expressing myself well. I just,” she trailed off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Just what?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I just want to be honest with you, but I’m afraid you won’t want me anymore.” Tears glistened in her eyes. “You’ll be ashamed of me.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I love you, Nikki, and I absolutely want you to be honest. Always. Please tell me.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Okay.” A deep, ragged breath echoed in the car, and she wiped her eyes before continuing. “I had a discussion with Suzie. We’re in the same yoga class,” she added and then waved her hand. “Anyway we had lunch a while back and she let me in on a little secret.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This oughta be good,” I added slyly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Stop it. Please just hear me out. This is important to me.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Fine. I apologize.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Well, her husband used to go out of town a lot on business, and their sex life suffered. Really suffered. She told me they used to fight a lot, and almost divorced, before they worked out an agreement.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“An agreement? What type of agreement?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe took another breath. “Suzie has a boyfriend.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boruma Publishing, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157320188144,"sku":"2940152061710","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940152061710_p0.jpg?v=1764017951","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940152061710","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
