Sylvia Donovan is a woman wounded by the death of her husband. On the day that he left for his fatal trip, he asked for a divorce. She has lived with not knowing who her husband had an affair with for two years. Now, her daughter has left for college and Sylvia has to rebuild her life.

A stay at home mom, Sylvia was devoted to creating a happy environment for her husband and her daughter. Now, she is completely alone and uncertain what to do with her life.

The other executive wives try to help, but it isn’t until a new man enters her world that does she start to see the potential for the future. Yet, she has to deal with the past. Vince helps her traverse that minefield and challenges her to take a chance on love again.

The “other executive wives”? This is part of a series, right?
CFO’s Affair is the 3rd book in The Executive Wives’ Club series.

Marketing Exec’s Widow and IT’s Exec’s Baby are the first two, and give readers the story for two of the other executive wives. The last book in the series will be coming out in 2014.

And this book focuses on Sylvia’s story? In that case, tell us more about her.
Sylvia is a woman who has allowed life to beat her down. After her husband died, she reclaims her self-confidence by losing weight and trying new things. She’s brassy and harsh at time, but she deeply cares about her friends and family. I believe readers can related to all the heartache in her life and empathize with how she has to come to terms with the past and make a future for herself.

What genre is it?
Contemporary Romance with strong women fiction elements.

What kind of readers will it appeal to?
I’d like to think all romance readers, but mothers and grandmother will find a strong connection to Sylvia and the other executive wives.

I have two awesome sons, who don’t live anywhere near me and who I miss every day.
