Book Two

The door opens all the way.

Mandy and Dennis have stopped apologizing for wanting more — and in Shangri-La, the braver version of their life stops being a weekend thing. Old friends open their home, their pool, and their rules; new trust gets tested in the open, where heat is just part of an ordinary evening among people who tell each other the truth.

This is a love story about real people: a marriage that got stronger by getting honest, and the friends who meet them there.
