Lucy, Rose and Connie are back in the stylish, insightful sequel to Adele Parks' PLAYING AWAY which is every bit as addictive as her debut bestseller and follows the friends' fortunes in their new roles as wives, mothers and lovers with plenty of surprises along the way...
Lucy stole her friend Rose's 'happily ever after' because she wanted Rose's husband - and Lucy always gets what she wants. Big mistake. Rose was the ideal wife and is the ideal mother; Lucy was the perfect mistress. Now neither can find domestic bliss playing each other's roles. They both envy Connie, who is happily married and is effortlessly balancing two kids with a fulfilling career. Until, that is, a dangerous old flame flickers back into view and threatens her marriage. But there are even more twists in the tale to come...
