My Debut Novel, Madison

Two years in the making or six if you count all of the other books leading up to Madison. I’m just starting the search for an agent. Oh, you want to know what it’s about:

Madison is an intelligent, thirty-year-old female banker with a husband on life support. Chaste for several years, the book opens with her decision to make a change in at least that part of her life.  She also hits a financial bottom and her employer’s solution amounts to financial espionage.

The antagonist, her father-in-law, fights to keep his son hooked up for an inheritance Madison is unaware of at first.   Madison wants her husband off of life support.  A subplot: a self-defense class leads to an underground martial arts world until an uncontrolled fight forces her out.  She uncovers her father-in-law’s plan to steal his son’s inheritance worth millions and by doing the right thing, she gives up her right to the money as well.  

The undercover banking assignment spawns a duplicitous way of life, friends, and a lover she never planned for.  She ends a string of shallow sexual escapades and struggles to make her faux life real. She wants a normal life with family, children and a rich network of friends and she is determined to make it happen.
