Callie Gold is an Israeli married to an American. She admits
that marrying her husband was the smartest decision she has ever made in her
entire life. Together they have raised
three beautiful children.
Callie is a lawyer, and a Jew, and what’s worse – an Israeli.
That means that she’s an in-your-face kinda gal. There is no Hebrew word for
‘subtle’. Callie’s husband says that she has too many opinions, and he’s right.
But she’s also open and friendly and very curious, and is known to start
intimate conversations with the Falafel guy.
Since she stopped litigating, Callie’s husband says she’s become
a much nicer person (Callie’s husband is almost always right, which makes living
with him really good and seriously annoying, all at the same time).
When she’s not writing, Callie does divorce mediation and
marriage counseling, which, she believes will save her a good seat in that
place up there. She also cooks and bakes and you will always find home-baked
bread in her freezer, next to the chocolate gelato that her husband
makes.
Callie writes because writing creates another life for her, a
life in which she can do whatever she wants. In order to write she has become a
time thief.
Above all, Callie is a lover of people and she can never get
enough of human interaction. So feel free to start up a conversation with her!

Smart and successful Attorney Jordan Cohen didn’t expect Sam,
her husband and best friend, to invoke their old pact for non-exclusivity. But
after twenty-some years together, he did.
A chance meeting with Ari Ash, the tall-dark-and-yummy internationally
renowned concert pianist, sends Jordan into his arms. Ari’s mysterious ways and
magical lovemaking pull the conflicted Jordan into a whirlwind affair.
When Ari is implicated in an execution-style murder, she wants
to believe Ari is innocent, but one troubling fact after another keeps popping
up. Jordan turns to the only man she can trust with her lover’s life – her
brilliant criminal defense attorney husband.
Is Ari a killer?
When Ari is charged, Jordan fears the worst: a life sentence for
her lover, exposure of her affair and the ruin of her law firm and irreparable
damage to her husband’s reputation. But she can’t let go of Ari’s love…
With the trial just days ahead, Jordan races to save her lover,
her husband and herself.
Desire, suspicion, love and loyalty all clash in the fast-paced
Mediterranean city of Tel-Aviv.

“Did you tell Sam?” Judith asked.
“Immediately.”
“Good girl. And it’s a good thing he knew you were seeing
someone,” she said. “How did he take it?”
“Fine, I think,” Jordan said. “No major blowups.”
“Jordan, what are you guys doing? This is seriously
dangerous,” Judith said.
“I know.”
“So are you going to end your fling with Ari?”
“I don’t think it’s a fling, Jude,” Jordan heard herself
say. “And I’m not giving him up.”
“We’re going to have a serious conversation about all of
this, you know,” Judith said, exhaling.
“But for now, tell me, can you work like that?”
“I can work just fine,” Jordan said.
“You’re the worst liar in the world.”
“Sam said the same thing.”
“Was Ari shocked to see you when you walked in the office?”
Judith asked.
Jordan paused. “No, he wasn’t.”
“This is strange, you have to admit.”
“He’s good at hiding his feelings, so what?”
“You’re developing a dangerous habit, Jordan. Keep that in
mind.”
“It’s just a simple IP case. I can do it in my sleep.”
“We do nothing in our sleep. This is dangerous talk.”
“Okay, okay, you’re right,” Jordan agreed. “You’re warning
me, I appreciate it. I’ll keep it in mind. Promise.”
Judith sighed.
After she put down the phone, Jordan took out her compact
and looked at her face. She concentrated on Ari and kept looking. Her face
changed, glowed. You look ten years younger. And sexy. And more beautiful than
you’ve been in years. Jordan felt the heat rising in her, and she pressed her
hand in her lap. Shhhhh, she told her body.
