In writing fiction, an author usually takes some kind of balance between planning out the entire project in immense detail and writing page by page with absolutely no idea what will happen next in the story.
The exact balance an author takes is up to them, of course, and it can take time for an author to figure out what suits them best. Plan out a story in a lot of detail, and you can devise some very clever twists and turns, and indulge in some highly sophisticated structure and form. But you might feel robbed of the joy of not knowing what happens next in the story. Write a story page by page with no real plan to follow, and you might find more excitement in finding out what happens next, but your story could easily spiral out of control, your plot winding up in a dead end or some kind of tangle that doesn’t make any sense.
I’ve always wavered a little between too much planning, or too little planning, in my stories. But in the first time I’ve really written a full book with another author, collaborating with Kenny Wright seemed to bring the best of both worlds. Both of us had a general idea what was going to happen in the story, but when it came to the writing, chapter by chapter we had no idea what the other was going to produce next, or which direction would be taken.
This made it extra absorbing for me—while I had the confidence that the story wasn’t going to unravel as we went along, there was still that thrill of discovery as each chapter came together.
And for me, the fact that my writing partner in Out of His League was Kenny Wright was just tremendous, because there was a real guarantee he’d come back to me with a new chapter full of gripping suspense, sparkling characters and wonderful writing.
More than anyone else, I’d give Kenny credit for getting me into this sub-genre in the first place. In particular his short stories Leap and Rediscovering Danielle, followed by his novel Just Watch Me, revealed to me a new kind of suspense that I’d not seen before in erotic fiction, inspiring me no end.
I was lucky to connect with Kenny himself after I published Anarchy of the Heart a few years back, and since then have benefited tremendously as we bounced ideas off each other, shared views on developing stories and figured out what worked, and what didn’t in this sub-genre.
To collaborate with such a master of the genre on a joint project like this has, therefore, been a particular honor, as well as a real pleasure. All being well, it should lead to more collaboration between us later in the year.
As well as paying tribute to Kenny, I’d just like to add a little note of thanks to our esteemed beta readers Anjali, Dan, Ian, John, Nick and Robert. Their eagle eyes proved invaluable in presenting this story in the best possible light.
And as ever, thanks to you the reader for your support in picking up this particular story, I hope you enjoyed it.

His Week With My Wife
Because cheating doesn’t have to end a relationship...
When Tyler discovers that his wife has been sleeping with other men while away on business attending conferences, it has the strangest effect of strengthening his desire for her.
Emily is forced to come clean and admit her infidelity to her husband after one of her new lovers — believing her to be single — invites himself to stay with her for a week, and to turn him down would likely mean she’d have to quit her job.
But to her surprise, Tyler not only allows her to continue seeing other men while away from home, he also says she can entertain her lover at home for the week he’s in town — so long as she’s happy to be shared.

Ethan and Nicole met, dated, got married, a job took Ethan away, and they separated. And that's how it would have ended had circumstances not brought Ethan home a year later.
When he sees his wife again after so long, he realizes just how much he lost. When they fall into a physical, friends-with-benefits arrangement, he realizes that he wants more. And when he begins to suspect that he's not the only man in her life anymore, his reaction shocks him.
As Ethan and Nicole rediscover themselves and the new people that they have become, they must decide whether to rekindle what they once had, or let each other go at last.
