Darren loves Luisa. To hell and back.
And she's taken him there, so she knows.
And Luisa owes Darren.
Even when he behaves badly (and oh boy, does he!)... she owes him...
***Real emotion. Real life. Real love. This is NOT a glossy love story. But if you're looking for a romance read that will rattle you... characters that will change you... and love that will last in your mind long after you're finished... THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU.***______________________________ PANDORA'S POISONLUISA:
I had every woman's dream: the gorgeous, successful, brilliant husband; the picture-perfect family; the pedestal marriage.
...Until one day, I risked it all for a handsome stranger.
A torrid affair, an unplanned pregnancy, and four years later, my husband Darren and I are finally on our way to healing and forgiveness...
Until karma comes back to bite me in the ass.
A chance encounter with my ex-lover Gianni reveals the child I kept from him, and now he wants to be part of her life -- and mine.
But she already has a daddy.
...And I already have a man to whom I owe everything.
DARREN: I'm the lucky bastard who actually got to marry the woman of my dreams.
But somewhere along the way, I took Luisa for granted.
Maybe it was my obsessive work streak, or maybe -- just maybe -- it was my inappropriate friendship with my employee Nicole.
Luisa thinks I have feelings for Nicole -- and I don't; of course not. There was just that one moment of insanity that swiftly -- and thankfully -- came to an abrupt end when her husband Kris walked in.
But now I've lost my best friend. And my wife is spending time with her ex-lover, while he visits with his daughter... my daughter.
Is that all Gianni really wants, or is he still in love with my wife?
