The mistake I made

Roz Toovey is a self-employed physiotherapist who enjoys helping people. She's good at her job, but the pay is not enough to fix her financial mess. Her rent is late, and furthermore the bailiffs have removed all of her furniture (and the oven!) from her apartment. When Roz discovers that her son has been stealing at school ("Because you don't have any money!"), her desperation reaches an all-time high.Trying to leave her troubles behind for a night, Roz accepts a dinner invitation from her sister, Petra, to meet her new friends Scott and Nadine, a "super couple." Scott, a wealthy businessman, pays just a little too much attention to Roz at dinner. So when he shows up the following week at the clinic without an appointment, his interest is obvious, and he makes it even clearer with a proposal of sorts: sleep with him and he will solve all of her money troubles. Indecent, of course, but tempting nonetheless, and Roz begins to rethink her definitions of right and wrong. Verdict Daly (Just What Kind of Mother Are You?) writes an intriguing story that grabs you from the beginning and won't let go till the final pages. Suspense lovers and fans of the author's other tales of domestic drama will enjoy. Highly recommended. [See Prepub Alert, 3/30/15.]-Cynthia Price, Francis Marion Univ.
