A Holiday Sausage Package

She kissed his best friend, turned to her husband, and said two words: your turn.

Here's a thing every woman in this collection figured out before her husband did: he's been in love with his best friend for years. The way he lights up. The way he loses his train of thought every time the other guy reaches past him. She's been reading it on his face since the wedding, and she's done pretending she doesn't want a front-row seat.

So she opens the door. One kiss. One go ahead. One holiday that rearranges everything.

Five wives. Five husbands who've been telling themselves the same careful little lie. And five men who've spent years loving from the wrong side of a line, convinced they're the temporary one, the extra, the guy who gets left before the eggnog's even cold.

Not this time. This time, when both of them say stay, he has to decide if he's brave enough to believe it.

Inside:

The Christmas We Included His Best Friend — A spin-the-bottle dare lands her husband's mouth on his best friend's, and nobody in that bedroom wants to take it back.

The Valentine’s We Shared — A couples retreat, a yoga instructor from her husband's past, and a snowstorm that strands all three of them with exactly one bed.

The St. Patrick’s We Caught His Friend — His old climbing buddy walks back into the pub after three years of silence. She's a physical therapist. She knows exactly what that look means. She leans in.

The Easter We Tempted Him — The Easter Bunny model cancels two hours out, so she hires her husband's best friend's little brother. He struts out shirtless in bunny ears. Her husband forgets how to breathe.

The Fourth of July We Ignited His Best Friend — A freshly divorced best friend, a lake house, and a wife who's been saving two little words for twelve long years.

Five holidays. Five awakenings nobody saw coming. All the heat, all the heart, and three people who finally stop pretending one of them has to leave.

Funny, filthy, and all the way to a happily ever after.
