This month, my name is Mary.

Every month, Joe tells me a different story, and every month, I listen. He doesn’t know that I imagine myself the star of his every one-night stand, and how could I tell him? I’m a married woman, after all. All Joe and I will ever have is imagination. All we will ever be is fiction.

I know this is wrong. I know I should stop before it goes too far. What I have learned from love is that you can’t always fix what is broken, but sometimes, you can survive it.

I’m just not sure I can possibly survive knowing Joe.

“THIS is the kind of story that stays with you forever.” – Maryse’s Book Blog

“A beautifully executed story that challenges the boundaries of the romance genre. This is what erotic romance should be—edgy, deliberate and deeply emotional.” – Kat, Book Thingo

“This book is one of the most dark, intense, erotic books I have ever read. It has completely wrecked me (in a good way).” – Mandi, SmexyBooks

“This read is raw, full of emotion, and so real there were times I could taste it. I cried. I laughed. I loved. Hats off to Megan Hart. This book deserves more than five stars.” – Megan D. Martin

“This book…this book broke my heart into billion little pieces, and even if I read it more than a year ago, I don’t think it will ever completely heal. This is one of those stories that stays with you forever.” – Way Too Hot Books
