What’s
Done in the Dark
Book Synopsis
Felise is not the kind of woman to cheat on
her husband—especially with her best friend’s man. But after one perfect storm
of a night, it happened…and she can hardly believe it herself. To top it off,
when she woke up in the morning, she found that the man to whom she guiltily
made passionate love died of a heart attack overnight. Felise, who is a nurse
and a good citizen at that, leaves the hotel room without reporting his death.
When her best friend,
Paula, finds out about her husband’s sudden death a day later, Felise is
overcome with guilt and grief. She must be there for her friend and her family,
but when her husband repeatedly tries to apologize for his absentminded
behavior and Paula starts investigating who Stephen was with the night he died,
Felise finds it hard to hold herself together. Should she come clean and tell
everyone what she did? Or should she just let it go and move past the mistake
on her own?
