All Hands on Deck

She knows boats. She knows what she wants. This season, shes taking both.

Kristin had it all planned: new lingerie, a glass of wine, and a husband who would finally notice her. Instead, Richard came home with news. Hed bought a boat without asking her, and it doesnt run.

Second Chance sits dead in its slip at Siesta Point Marina, just south of Sarasota. Richard is a literature professor with no practical skills whatsoever. Kristin raced sailboats competitively as a teenager, won two junior national championships, then gave the water up for twenty years of marriage and parenting. Now shes back on the docks, down in the engine bay with sweat on her skin and grease on her hands, and shes suddenly impossible to ignore.

Walt is the silver-haired marine engineer in the next slip: patient, steady, and very good with his hands. Cole is the cocky young pool-company owner four slips down, who keeps inventing reasons to come over. The two men compete for her. Neither of them gets to own her.

Then Richard says she can give the men "a kiss and a hug" as thanks for their help. The joke turns out to be something he means. He doesnt want her to stop. He wants to hear everything, and eventually he wants to be there.

All Hands on Deck is a steamy, explicit hotwife novel about a wife in her forties who rediscovers her appetite and her own competence, and who is the one making every choice. With consensual ménage, a husband who watches and loves it, playful rivalry, and a warm marriage at its heart, it ends on a boat, finally heading out to sea, with more still to come.
