Synopsis "The Summer Trip My Husband Lied About All Autumn"
Every July, my husband goes fishing in Montana with his college roommate. Four days at a cabin on the Madison. He's done it for nine years.In September, I'm putting summer clothes into storage bins when I find a receipt in his cargo shorts. A restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona. Dated July 16.He was supposed to be in Montana.I'm a bookkeeper. I reconcile numbers for a living. So I pull the credit card statement he uses for trip expenses. No Montana. No airline to Bozeman. A flight to Phoenix. Nine charges in Arizona, and a fish market four miles from our house where he bought the trout on the way home from the airport.There was no fishing trip. There has never been a fishing trip. And the money - nine years of it, plus a home equity line I didn't know about, plus a time-share worth eight cents on the dollar - adds up to $94,000 against our house.He did it because I said no. I said no correctly, and too fast, and he heard the answer before he'd finished the question.Now it's autumn. The bins are packed. And I am very, very good at spreadsheets.✔ Standalone - read in any order✔ An autumn marriage betrayal romance✔ No cliffhanger✔ A bookkeeper who reconciles everything - including her marriage✔ For readers of marriage betrayal, husband lies, financial secrets, and dark autumn romance Read more
