Here's a sneak peek of
THE SECRET AFFAIR
by
New York Times

D
r. Aidan Westmoreland entered his apartment and removed his lab coat. After running a hand down his face, he glanced at his watch, frustrated. He'd hoped he would have heard something by now. What ifâ¦
The ringing of his cell phone made him pause. It was the call he'd been waiting for. “Paige?”
“Yes, it's me.”
“Is Jillian still going?” he asked, not wasting time with chitchat.
There was a slight pause on the other end, and in that short space of time knots formed in his stomach. “Yes, she's still going on the cruise, Aidan.”
He released the breath he'd been holding as Paige continued, “Jill still has no idea I'm aware that the two of you had an affair.”
Aidan hadn't known Paige knew the truth either, until she'd paid him a surprise visit last month. According to her, she'd figured things out the year Jillian had entered medical school. She'd become suspicious when he'd come home for his cousin Riley's wedding and she'd overheard him call Jillian
Jilly
in an intimate tone. Paige had been concerned this past year when she'd noticed Jillian seemed troubled by something that she wouldn't share with Paige.
Paige had talked to Ivy, Jillian's best friend, who'd also been concerned about Jillian. Ivy had shared everything about the situation with Paige. Which had prompted Paige to fly to Charlotte and confront him. Until then, Aidan had been clueless as to the real reason behind his and Jillian's breakup.
When Paige had told him about the cruise she and
Jillian had planned and she'd suggested an idea for getting Jillian on the cruise alone, he'd readily embraced it.
“I've done my part and the rest is up to you, Aidan. I hope you can convince Jill of the truth.”
Moments later he ended the call and continued to the kitchen, where he grabbed a beer. Two weeks on the open seas with Jillian would be interesting. But he intended to make it more than just interesting. He aimed to make it productive.
A determined smile spread across his lips. By the time the cruise ended there would be no doubt in Jillian's mind that he was the only man for her.
