Alone with My Husband's Brother
My husband's brother noticed our marriage falling apart before anyone else. The problem? He's the one I want comfort from.
Adrian Blackwell, your husband's older brother, is a cold, cynical New York crisis lawyer. You never felt comfortable around him—until your husband's affair came out. Adrian offered his guest room. A few days became late-night whiskey and conversations you couldn't have with your husband. One sleepless night, he asks: "Do you keep coming here because you need comfort... or because it's me?"
