Mad About the Boy — Maggie Alderson

Of all the nightmare options that passed through Antonia Heaveringham's head when she knew her husband Hugo was homosexual. Antonia soon finds that an attractive single woman is not nearly so welcome on the champagne social scene as the wife of a glamorous English aristocrat.

It is only the arrival of Hugo's outrageous lavender-haired Uncle Percy that lifts her out of her depression -- and propels her into the gym to combat the effects of some serious comfort eating. There she meets the mysterious James, who leads her into a shadowy world of criminals, corruption and high-stakes property deals.

But what starts out as a lark leads her into a situation where keeping a secret becomes a matter of life, death and love.
