A Goodreads user asked Matthew Lee:

Hi Matt, love your books, have read several. As you know we are all about the angst, and nothing scratches that itch more than the thought of a woman actually leaving her mate for a superior man. Does any of your work actually go there?

Matthew Lee I've written several stories where the wife leaves for a time but never in a permanent way. The angst of infidelity is to be sipped, not guzzled. We husbands dance with jealousy and pain, dipping a toe before returning to our loving and stable marriage. To me, to permanently dissolve the marriage is to release all tension and replace it with sadness and loss.
