    About this ebook

    Ethan was a fastidious planner; no detail escaped his keen eye. Constantly juggling his wife's schedule with his job and clandestine meetings with a "special friend" from the office, he was finally hitting his stride. His routine life was finally becoming exciting until an afternoon tryst went terribly wrong.

    Why did his wife change her plans? What would he do with the body in his SUV?

    He had to formulate a new plan...

    ...and fast. This title is published by eLectio Publishing and is distributed worldwide by Untreed Reads.

      Ethan rolled onto his back and listened to the sounds of the afternoon: the humming lawnmower down the street, the dog barking next door, the buzzing of the cicadas in the trees. The sounds, and especially the situation, turned him on. Things were perfect. His life was full of excitement.
