The Politician’s Wife

Susan Bailey has everything - a gorgeous home, a successful husband, and a wonderful son. She is also neglected, bored, unhappy and dissatisfied with her life, her weight, and what she has become. Her college dreams of the perfect life have all come true, and she’s lived her life through her husband and son, fundraising and committee meetings. Is anything left for her?

Little does her husband know that Susan has a past, and a secret that comes back to haunt her idyllic life and her husband’s political aspirations. When she meets with her blackmailer, she finds that he has something a little more personal in mind than money in exchange for keeping her little secret safely tucked away.

The Politician’s Wife chronicles Susan’s descent into the seedy side of life, and the changes in her attitude along the way. What lengths will she go to in order to protect her husband’s career? To what depths will she sink? J.W. McKenna expertly paints a picture of the seduction found in the lives we leave behind as Susan becomes Susie, delving into her darkest, most twisted sexual fantasies and a few more besides. I was carried along in the murky, twisting plot, and blackly erotic imagery. The Politician’s Wife surprised me with its explosive ending, proving that some people, indeed, will do anything for their political cause. Kudos on an excellently presented scorcher by J.W. McKenna!
