7 pp · romance

A restless housewife escapes her routine life in Minnesota to visit her glamorous sorority sister in New York, telling her husband it's to care for an ailing friend. What begins as a seemingly innocent trip quickly spirals into nights of dancing, cocktails, and dates as the narrator discovers a thrilling world far removed from husband, children, and domestic duties. But the glittering Manhattan life has darker undercurrents than she bargained for, and the longer she stays, the more she loses sight of who she really is.

My Man Was a Wolf
