A man without a wife-how pitiful is that?

He needed a foolproof plan.

Phelps Lawson looked stunned. "You're telling me she's Salome?"

"That's right."

Phelps had always worried Timothy might have something going on with Sheila, which was why he'd been so against the idea of divorce in the first place.
