wife.

Doesn't he know I'm somebody's wife? Does he care? Shit... do I care?
Dr. Jemma Holiday had the perfect life, love, marriage, and family in
the public's eye. But behind closed doors, betrayal and mundane

was supposed to be a pleasurable evening out with her sorority sisters,
abruptly transitioned to the one-night stand of her dreams... or so she
thought.
