Astray

A Birch Falls Novel, Book 1

By: Poppy Fitzgerald

Narrated by: Lucas Webley, M K Blackwood

What was supposed to be the typical “girls night out” with a couple of drinks, and a fun catch-up with her best friend, turns into something completely different for married, but lonely, Eloise Fitzpatrick. She wasn’t expecting to get stood up by her bestie, or to have a tall, dark and dangerous stranger hit on her and steal a kiss under the street lamp.

Her unexpected night causes an eruption of conflicting emotions inside of her, including the crushing sense of betrayal to her husband. For the first time in years, Eloise finds herself feeling sexy, desired, wanted…But the guilt of these feelings threatens to consume her. Her husband, Caleb, may currently be married to his job, but she can remind him of why he married her first. Eloise is determined to pour more energy into her marriage to make it work, and forget the handsome stranger with the heart stopping kisses.

Unfortunately for Eloise, the stranger has other plans, and they do not include a happily ever after with Caleb. His obsession isn’t just leading Eloise astray… it is taking her down a dark path that may be the destruction of more than just her marriage.

Astray is an adult dark romance with dark themes of betrayal, stalking, SA, kidnapping and is intended for mature audiences only.
