Synopsis
A cheating husband. A marriage counselor with a secret. And one appointment that turns betrayal into evidence. Phoebe Archer agrees to counseling because her husband says he wants to save their marriage. Fine. Mature. Responsible. Slightly suspicious, but Phoebe owns a restoration studio, which means she knows when something has been patched over badly. Then she finds the private portal note Logan forgot she could still see: a message meant for Dr. Selene Vey, their polished marriage counselor. Selene is not just advising their marriage. She is sleeping with Phoebe's husband, billing Phoebe's insurance, and using Phoebe's private disclosures to make her look unstable. Logan wants silence. Selene wants control. Roman Holland, Selene's ex-husband and a patient-rights consultant, wants Phoebe to know exactly where the bodies are buried before they try to bury her too. Phoebe does not panic. She prints. She plans. Then she burns it all down. ✔ Cheating husband ✔ Mistress marriage counselor ✔ Public revenge confrontation ✔ Competent snarky heroine ✔ Better-man upgrade romance ✔ He falls first energy ✔ Legal receipts and paper trail ✔ Divorce glow-up ✔ Explicit heat with the upgrade man ✔ Stand-alone quick read ✔ No cheating between the final couple ✔ HEA Heat Level: Explicit Vibes: Snarky, vindicating, high-drama Setting: Contemporary city / restoration studio Ending: HEA, stand-alone, quick-read novella in the Marriage Betrayal Upgrade series, can be read in any order.
