<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Includes a preview of the author's novel 'Decadence.'<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey once again "pushes romance and deceit to the next level" (<i>USA Weekend</i>) in this tantalizing tale of a high-profile marriage rocked by scandal, obsession, and murder.</b> <p/>Screenwriter James Thicke is a man whose mysterious past runs as deep as his violent streak. Now he and his volatile movie star wife, Regina Baptiste, have channeled their passions into an electrifying new project: a film rumored to cross the boundaries of on-screen sexuality. But it's James's limits that are about to be tested--by a surreptitiously filmed video of his wife with her co-star Johnny Bergs, in the most comprising of situations. Within hours, it goes viral. <p/>Regina claims she is innocent. But the humiliation and rage leave James with only one recourse--an act of violence that sends him on the run and into hiding. Seething with bitter betrayal, and a still-consuming love for his troubled wife, he nurses a slow-boiling desire for something more permanent: revenge. His need for vengeance takes James and Regina on a headlong odyssey of obsession, sexual impulse, blackmail, and murder. And getting back will be hell.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>An Accidental Affair</i></b> <p/>"Once again, Eric Jerome Dickey has written a genre bending...story that is chalk full of danger, intrigue, mysterious characters with shady motives, murder, intrigue...and obsession.
