Duos of Reversal. Duos of Reversal, #10

Duo-Ten in the "Duos of Reversal" collection contains another two contemporary tales of marital and domestic fantasy from the female-led perspective - each of them as unbelievable as they seem utterly credible. Read on, as an executive husband cheats with his secretary and is discovered by the middle-eastern - and female - CEO of the company employing them. A boss who is very friendly with her former PA who remains her executive's wife.
The same wife her faithless husband persuaded to leave her position that they might try for a family and who, with the help of her former boss who has also become her closest female friend, decides it is the husband who is better suited to a life at home. A domesticated life supervised by both her and that same middle-eastern friend in an arrangement that will be entirely female led. Wrongly accused and imprisoned, divorced from his wife and estranged from his daughters, a former teacher struggles with depression after his release and the knowledge kicks in that he is not only friendless and jobless but about to be made homeless by his local council in London.
Which is when he sees an ad seeking a man for a live-in handyman position in nearby Blackheath. An ad run by a recently affluent African couple who are looking for a man just like him. And on a long-term basis. A man who will be not so much a handyman as their family. manservant! Duo-Ten contains: "Taming My Husband" by Maria Wain-Vincent; and "The Manservant" from Rafael Menton. Believable, if outrageous, fantasy and female-led fiction, written from a psychological perspective for those readers with a preference for exercising the darker side of the imagination with the help of credible and character-driven plotlines.
