Ilse's Story - The A-Z of Trophy Wives, #9 - E-book - ePub

They're young, beautiful, with fast cars and luxury homes-with absentee, older husbands. Bored and lonely, each of our trophy wives has her own solution. It had been a cliché romance. Hired as an au pair, the leggy blonde had ended up looking after the two children when the wife left, leaving the husband vulnerable to seduction. A year after the divorce, she married her businessman husband, but it wasn't long before she realized she had little in common with him-except for her two charges, now step-daughters.
Now three years later, with them in school and him at work, life started to feel empty for Ilse. A chance conversation got her back interested in continuing her studies. She'd gained her degree in England, but to go for more, she needed to do some remedial classes. Besides, she was six years out of date, and economics had moved on. Roger was supportive, so she enrolled in the courses she needed and started studying again.
Life at home seemed to settle down again, and college life was a new challenge. Then she met Susan, also doing the remedial course, and they ended up as study partners. However, with her home life still stagnant, Ilse began to wonder what Susan's real motivation was for the intense friendship the younger woman offered.
