Synopsis

A tipsy confession of infidelity during their engagement hadn't been the best start to Sarah's marriage. Blurting it out on their honeymoon wasn't the best timing, either. Still, how could he complain? It had taken Paul O'Brian five years to propose, and even then he'd made only occasional appearances in Sarah's bed! Briefly aroused by a holiday, he'd managed to father their son, now three years old; otherwise the ring on Sarah's finger signified little more than a shrewd purchase. But now Paul had decided it was time to cut their losses. With a divorce. What had happened to them? Weren't they once the perfect couple? Surely her savvy husband hadn't fallen prey to that humiliating cliché, the seven-year itch.... Thrown into a state of denial, then self-doubt, followed by determination not to go under without a fight, Sarah is catapulted into an unforgettable last year of being married.
