The Wife Stalker by Liv Constantine
My two favorite sister authors, Lynne and Valerie, combine talents to create a complex and twisty tale of two women interested in the same man, Leo, a successful lawyer in the upscale paradise of Westport, Connecticut. The thing is, Joanna is Leo’s wife, and Piper, well, she’s blown into town and soon has stolen Leo and their children away. In this wifely tale, you’ll never guess the clever ending.
