About Joelle

Joelle Marks writes marriage-betrayal romance for women who want the receipts, the reckoning, and a better man — in that order.

Her heroines are over forty. They are property managers and caterers and payroll supervisors and school librarians, and they are very good at their jobs, which turns out to be the problem and then the solution. Nobody rescues them. Nobody hands them the proof. They find it themselves, in the paperwork they already had access to, and they file it before they ever raise their voices.

There is always a better man. He is present, he is specific, and he pays attention. He never fires the last shot. That one is hers.

What you will never get in one of these books: a grovel arc, a husband who earns his way back, or an ending where she takes him back because he cried. The marriage is over on page one and it stays over.

Every book stands alone. Start anywhere.
