Summary
It's 1988, and you're married to one of London's most influential financiers. He's handsome, unfathomably rich, and gives you everything you could possibly want. A perfect life in a perfect house, the perfect husband.
The problem?
You don't love him. You never have.
When he is called away on a three-month long business engagement, he leaves you with a stack of cash and free reign to renovate as you see fit.
The interior designer you employ to help with the task is clever, charming and impossibly good-looking. You find yourself enthralled by their company.
The other problem?
She's a woman, and you can't seem to look away.

"You are playing a very dangerous game, sweetheart," Alcina says, in a voice that can't quite decide between warning and want. "That mouth of yours is going to get me into a lot of trouble."
"I think you want trouble, Alcina. I think you've wanted it from the second you first saw me."
Her fingers close around your wrist, arresting your wandering hand. "I mean it. This won't do, Mrs Barreau. You have a husband. I'm not interested in married women."
