"Phenomenal. A breath of fresh air!" (Roy Madron, author)

"Pioneering work; well-crafted page-turner"(Frank Steel, author)
If "Anna Karenina" had a pandemic love child with an 80s neo-noir.
A tour de force of love and the realities that underpin it with cinematic quality.
Eris Clemens is a writer who has it all: wit, looks, loving husband.
Or so it seems. Her marriage has one crack through which a young scientist manages to insert psychodrama.
Daniel Graf is the athletic academic who's very satisfied with his life achievements on the face of things. But a clue to his real insecurities lies in his dependent housewife, who offers idolatry in return for stability.
When, in lockdown, an erotic idyll forms between Eris and Daniel in their vintage domestic paradise, trouble is invited in. Trouble which is examined by the prescient Eris, and denied by the her ego-driven young lover.
The world outside is quietly disintegrating, but they don't see it through their steamy windows.
Inside, hypnotic physical attraction and jealousy take centre stage.
Engaged in a game of psychological chess, they hurt each other and their partners, going back and forth on the same questions: is new passion worth the destruction of loyal partners? Is the fairy tale all it seems?
