Playing Away: a novel

The Story

Connie Green's life should be perfect. She's got a hot career, a wonderful husband, and fabulous girlfriends. But Connie also has a big problem: an overwhelmingly sexy bloke named John, whom she's just met at a business conference. Her head and heart say, 'No way, Connie', but her renegade body shrieks, 'Ohhh, yes!' Now she's up to her neck in a tawdry affair and increasingly given to rash thoughts: Could John be her destiny? After all she is losing weight. It can't be a bad thing if she's losing weight, can it?What Connie really wants is...well, Connie's not quite sure what she wants. And that's just the trouble. Training an alternately joyous and jaundiced eye on the particulars of modern life, Adele Parks has crafted a bold and thoroughly entertaining novel of romance, sex, and marriage.
