A Husband in Hell... Plus-1

2-Books from the female-led viewpoint on the subject of wifely betrayal.

We open with Toby Melia's "A Husband in Hell", and her tale of marital misadventure and the miscalculation of a wife who had it all yet still wants more from the husband who has given her everything and still loves her... A wife who tells him she wants to take other lovers... The power struggle that ensues will see him humiliated, depressed, and demoralised as he finds that not only is his wife intent on betraying him but that one of his two daughters is way ahead of her. Until, through the intervention of a businessman and friend from the middle-east who has been through similar heartache, he is introduced to the person about to provide him an unlikely redemption and become an equally surprising saviour... But not before he has served his time as... "A Husband in Hell".

With Clarice Darling's "Wifely Control", Estelle's young female boss, Vonda, has become her lover, but neither wife nor affair-partner want to erase the once affluent and commanding husband Estelle still loves in her own way from the marital picture. Instead, they plot to use the fact he is now unemployed while his wife takes on the role of breadwinner and take on the role of househusband on a more "Permanent" basis. Thus ensuring his position as head-of-household is usurped by the lesbian lover his wife insists live with them on a permanent... But could any self-respecting man accept such a state of affairs?

Believable female-led fantasy fiction of the marital kind for those readers who prefer to use the darker sides of their imaginations with the help of character-driven plotlines.
