An Accidental Affair

New York Times bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey once again "pushes romance and deceit to the next level" (USA Weekend) in this tantalizing tale of a high-profile marriage rocked by scandal, obsession, and murder.

Screenwriter James Thicke is a man whose mysterious past runs as deep as his violent streak. Now he and his volatile movie star wife, Regina Baptiste, have channeled their passions into an electrifying new project: a film rumored to cross the boundaries of on-screen sexuality. But it's James's limits that are about to be tested-by a surreptitiously filmed video of his wife with her co-star Johnny Bergs, in the most comprising of situations. Within hours, it goes viral.

Regina claims she is innocent. But the humiliation and rage leave James with only one recourse-an act of violence that sends him on the run and into hiding. Seething with bitter betrayal, and a still-consuming love for his troubled wife, he nurses a slow-boiling desire for something more permanent: revenge. His need for vengeance takes James and Regina on a headlong odyssey of obsession, sexual impulse, blackmail, and murder. And getting back will be hell.
