More betrayal and cheating:

When Perfect Falls Apart: The Bexley Hills Series (A Contemporary Women Fiction on Marriage, Manipulation, and Moving On) by Josey Mood.

A great betrayal revenge book, with a second book in the series planned. What if you were in your 50s, have a long term marriage, seem to live an ideal life, but your husband is distant, and then find out your husband is cheating and hiding money? What would you do?

Meet Lauren Holmes and follow the roller coaster that becomes her life.

The main tropes are:

– The disintegration of a long-term marriage that appears perfect on the outside but is really not.
– The FMC who goes from feeling invisible to growing a backbone.
– The sleaze ball, cheating, lying MMC who gas lights his wife.
– The OW, an Ivy League attorney who works with the MMC, and engages in an 18+ month affair.
– The FMC has supportive children and friends…she needs them.

At fifty-two, she lives in an elegant Connecticut home, organizes charity galas, and appears to have it all with her successful pharmaceutical executive husband. But behind the polished facade, Lauren feels invisible in her own marriage, suffocating under twenty-three years of emotional neglect disguised as domestic bliss.

When a single text message shatters her world, Lauren discovers her husband’s eighteen-month affair and something far worse…”
