A SERIES BY NOLA PERRIN & JUDE ROOKE

Good Wife Games

Eight novels about one marriage that breaks open and learns to come home.

A married woman, an unreasonable man, and a calendar full of dinners nobody wants to be at. From the outside she has it all — which is the part of the act that took her the longest to learn.

Eight books, one continuous arc. The marriage names itself, examines itself, and reassembles on its own terms. Polyamory, age-gap, forbidden — explored in order, on the page. HEA across the series, not book-by-book.
