Introduction
Handsome home organizer Ted has a double dilemma. As a devoted husband, he's struggling to resist the charm and seductive flirtations of Janet, a divorced client. Circumstances keep bringing her back into his life, fueling his wife's suspicions and inciting threats from Janet's jealous ex-husband. Ted must also deal with the ire of James Smith, a demanding client who is convinced his eccentric father died leaving something of great value hidden in his cluttered and mysterious Victorian mansion. Together , Ted and Janet interpret clues that lead to two surprising discoveries--one that captures the imagination of the city, and one that determines their fate.
Excerpt
Chapter 1Floundering.
The word kept popping into Ted McCormick’s head as he drove down Pine Street, watching for a green Queen Anne house with black shutters. His wife was right.

Notes From the Author to the Bookclub
Note from the author: . I wrote Another Man’s Treasure to entertain readers while indirectly increasing awareness of what home organizers do, one of my businesses. I also wanted a love story, but one that involves fidelity and temptation. I believe most men and women who commit adultery do not seek it, it just happens. It can be initiated by the man or the woman. In my book, the reader knows the thoughts and emotional turmoil of the married protagonist, not the two women.Book Club Recommendations
