About the Book
"Sometimes love deserves a second chance—even if getting there requires committing a few felonies along the way."
After twenty-five years of marriage, Vivienne and Jack Carter aren't fighting—they're barely feeling alive. With their children gone and their relationship reduced to comfortable silence, each secretly reaches the same completely insane conclusion: maybe the only way to save their marriage is to get the other one sent to federal prison.
What follows is a wildly inventive battle of disastrous schemes, spectacular criminal incompetence, unexpected consequences, and the growing realization that the person they're trying to escape may still be the person they can't live without. Funny, fast-paced, outrageous, and unexpectedly heartfelt—a darkly comic romantic suspense novel about marriage, midlife reinvention, and second chances.
