Ewan Giacometti only wants one thing from his illiterate wife: a son. But Athena Moore has been unhappy for three years and is ready to leave her cold husband. When she finally asks for a divorce, Ewan’s cunning ‘best friend’ frames her, driving her out of the city. Now, Ewan is left to confront his true feelings about his wife, whom he had married under mysterious circumstances, especially when she returns from exile a changed woman.
"Is this necessary?" Athena asked Gianna as she spritzed perfume on her wrists and dabbing it around her neck.
She looked stunning in a short red gown that made her legs seem to stretch on forever—definitely a weapon fashioned against men tonight.
"Is what necessary?" Gianna bent to slide her feet inside her red open-toe heel.
"The night out. The dress… especially the dress…"
A pause.
"I look like…" Athena gestured to her outfit, glancing at her reflection in the full-length mirror.
"You look like a beautiful woman ready to have a blast at a club tonight!" Gianna replied, admiring the view. "It's the weekend after all, and if you end up with a hangover, guess what? Tomorrow isn't a work day!"
Athena scoffed.
Gianna had no idea what her work entailed. It wasn't like her jewelry gig, where you could take a breather between days.
In her line of work, anything could happen!
