**Love and marriage - and infidelity. Seduction Theory is a smart, funny, delicious novel about a long marriage being derailed during a hot summer on a prestigious American campus.**

What they were doing was not an affair because Ethan had never laid a hand on Abigail. But it also was, because leaving a department potluck to buy cigarettes was better than sex.

The long summer holiday has begun on the campus of Edwards University in upstate New York.

Simone is the star of the creative writing department, a renowned scholar, successful memoirist and campus sex icon.

Ethan, her devoted husband, is a lecturer in the same department, though he hasn''t published a novel since he was twenty-six.

Their marriage is long, strong and happy. But, over the course of that aggressively hot summer break, both will stray. And, as others become involved, new sides to the story of this apparently flawless marriage will emerge.

Deliciously smart and bitingly funny, Seduction Theory is a novel about love and betrayal, truth and fiction, power and attraction.
