Indiscretion

The Great Gatsby meets Fifty Shades of Grey in this torrid novel of love, lust and deception.

Harry and Madeleine Winslow are a devoted couple, blessed with talent, money and charm. One summer, at their cottage in East Hampton, they meet Claire and cannot help but be enchanted by her youth, intelligence and disarming naivety. Claire falls eagerly into the Winslows’ welcoming orbit. But over the course of the summer, reverence transforms into dangerous desire. By Labor Day, it is no longer enough to just be one of their hangers-on…
