On a Friday night, dressed to impress, Sherry Westbrook gets stood up. She could go home, but why waste a new outfit and well-done hair? She decides to dine alone, but then her boss shows up, and now she doesnโt have to.
Alex Barraza takes the place of Sherryโs date, and at the end of dinner, they spend the night togetherโbringing to life a fantasy that has played out in his mind over the past two years. One night together isnโt enough, and before long they embark on a secret affair that takes them both by surprise. But Alex hasnโt been completely honest with Sherry, and when she finds out the truth, he knows heโll lose her. So instead of the truth, he stays silent. Because now heโs in too deep, and he canโt let her go.
(Quicksand is a series of stand alone stories based on love, sex, and romance. Why Quicksand? Because love pulls you in. The more you fight, the deeper you fall. You can't fight your way out of quicksand, and you can't fight your way out of love.)
