BLURB

The best-selling writer of the New York Times, Joshilyn Jackson-” an esteemed author who deserves to be a household name “(Kirkus Reviews)-shows her masterful talent in this dark and deliciously addictive tale of domestic suspense.

Also winning in this game can be dangerous….

Amy Whey is proud of her ordinary life and her simple pleasures-teaching diving lessons, baking cookies for new neighbors, helping her best friend, Charlotte, run their local book club. Her greatest pleasure is her family: her devoted husband professor, her spirited stepdaughter of 15 years, her adorable son. And of course, Charlotte’s loyal and encouraging. But the simple, uncomplicated life of Amy begins to unravel when one book-club night arrives on her doorstep the enigmatic and alluring Angelica Roux.

Sultry and irresistible, with her feral charm, Roux beguiles the party. She keeps the wine flowing, luring them into a game of secrets spilling. It’s dirty, harmless fun for everyone. But Amy has a better knowledge. Something wicked came her way-a she-devil in a precious red sports car that seems to know the awful truth about who she is and what she once did. 

Roux tells her when they’re alone that if she doesn’t give her what she’s looking for, what she needs, she’ll get Amy to pay for her sins. One or the other way.

In order to protect herself and her family and save the life she has created, Amy must beat the devil in her own clever game, matching Roux’s wits in an escalating battle of hidden history and unarthed secrets. When she can’t beat Roux, Amy knows the consequences. That worries her is all she could lose if she wins. 

A diabolically addictive tale of deceit, manipulation, temptation, and love filled with dark twists leavened by the hallmark charm of Joshilyn Jackson, Never Have I Ever examines what happens when our past’s transgressions come back with vengeance.
