Contemporary romance — an established, loving marriage that · The Brindle

Ask Me to Help

In twenty years of marriage, Doug has asked his wife for exactly one thing: the chair by the window. And not to be asked to help.

For their twentieth anniversary, Alonda Brannon books two November nights at The Brindle in her own name and on her own card. Doug will sit and watch. Lars Vanderkamp — the Rendale paramedic she has been honest with by phone for a month, in daylight and in plain words — will do the rest.

The rule survives Friday. What it costs is this: Alonda spends the whole night playing to a chair, checking her husband's face for a reaction he has forbidden her to ask him for, and ends up lonely in a hotel room with two men in it.

Saturday she overrules it. Not to be generous, and not because anyone talked her into it — because she has finally worked out that what she wants is not to be watched. It is her husband's hands. Doug says yes, and hearing himself say it is the frightening part.

Explicit and open door, dual POV: the wife and her husband. The marriage is never once in danger. Perfect for fans of Sierra Simone and Tiffany Reisz.
