A Wild Affair: A Novel
Jessica Wild’s fiancé, Max Wainwright, truly is the man of her dreams. They work together at Milton Advertising and are now collaborating on a campaign for a secret merger between two banks, a high-powered deal that will put the agency and Max on the map. When a woman answers Max’s phone, Jess is horrified at being betrayed, and she drowns her sorrows in drink. Unfortunately, she also shares her misery with a new pal, Hugh, an advertising rival, and she may have let slip a detail or two about the merger. When it turns out that the mystery woman transforms Jess’s life in ways she never could have imagined, she desperately tries to keep Hugh from saying anything to Max. Nothing is going to spoil her unexpected joy, but can Jess keep her man and her job? Townley’s sequel to The Importance of Being Married (2008) and the second in her Wild trilogy is a sweet confection of a novel with a delightfully happy ending. --Hilary Hatton
