[Greener Grass? 01] • Greener Grass? Book 1

Ours was a story so common to couples with young children – all of our time and energy focused on our two little bundles of high energy joy.

But with Holly and I approaching forty, when her two best friends both separated from their partners and re-entered the dating scene, it sparked an existential crisis for my wife.

At college before she met me, for good reason the three of them had been known as ‘The Wild Bunch,’ as they’d unashamedly sown their wild oats as vigorously as any frat boy ever did.

Now seventeen years on, we’d been happy and she was the best mom and wife a family could ever hope for.

But an anniversary trip to Jamaica, the siren voices of her best friends and our need to save money for college funds provided the seeds for major changes in our lives and marriage.

‘Be careful … desire is a fire that burns hot … if you ignore it, it can turn everything to ashes.’

Even now, I’m not quite sure if that fire will warm or burn us.
