Another Man's Wife — Shonda Cheekes

Men and women test the limits of love and devotion in this sexy and suspenseful novel, which evokes the emotional honesty and moral complexity of real life.

When Yani Fenton married Jarrin Miller, she thought it would last forever. But five years ago, her husband of fifteen years walked out on his family without a last glance. Since then, Yani and her two children have played a waiting game, certain that he would come back. Now, with the help of her friends and her sister, Yani is finally over her "love hangover" and ready to get on with her life.

At a party, Yani meets Alex Chance, a prominent New York businessman who's looking for a relationship with a woman who isn't with him just for his money. Their powerful attraction leads to a whirlwind courtship and a fairy-tale like wedding. But their happy ending is threatened by Jarrin's sudden reappearance, which forces Yani to face the truth about her marriage -- and the life-altering choice she will have to make as another man's wife.

With generous helpings of affection, humor, and romantic suspense, Shonda Cheekes has created a story that crackles with wit and the rifts and rhythms of modern life. Alternating between the first-person outlooks of Yani and Alex, Another Man's Wife captivates readers with a sassy tale of men and women on the move and searching for love and fulfillment. Imbued with the author's fresh, unique voice, this is a provocative and seductive look at relationships in the twenty-first century.
