The Work Wives by Rachael Johns

How well do you really know the

people you work with? For work wives Debra and Quinn,

it’s a case of opposites attract. They are each other’s lifelines as they navigate office politics and jobs that pay the bills but don’t inspire them. Outside work, they are also friends, but where Quinn is

addicted to dating apps and desperate to find love, Deb has sworn off men. Although Deb is not close to her own mother, her teenage daughter is her life and there’s nothing she wouldn’t do to protect her. But Ramona has other ideas and is beginning to push boundaries. Life becomes even more complicate­d by the arrival of a new man at the office. One woman is attracted to him, while the other hoped she’d never meet him again. But when Deb, Quinn and Ramona are forced to choose between friends, love and family, the ramificati­ons run deeper than they could ever

have expected.
