The Big Guilt (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781642476576)

What happens when a divorced mother of two falls for her brother's girlfriend?

Rachel Koslow appears to have it all. A budding career as a bestselling author, a successful boyfriend, a nice Boston apartment, despite the view of a dumpster... Then one fateful night, she meets another writer, Alex Ardin. Captivating, glamorous...she's the one person who could be Rachel's undoing.

After a brief affair with Alex, Rachel decides she can't handle the pressure. Being from a Polish, Catholic, conservative family, she knows they'd never understand. So she chooses the expected path--marriage, kids, even renovating her childhood home at her parents' request. Manipulated by guilt, she does everything to make others happy, except herself.

Several years later, Rachel is a single, divorced mother of two. Everyone in her family will soon be converging at Rachel's big Victorian house for her parents' fiftieth wedding anniversary. The last one to arrive is her chronically single, older brother, Chris. But he has a new girlfriend he can't wait for Rachel to meet. And it just happens to be Alex.

When Rachel learns about Alex's life in the years since they knew each other, sparks are rekindled. And Rachel will have to make a choice--play it safe and worry what everyone else thinks, or choose her own happiness.
