Hopscotch with the Devil Lori Garfinkle

When temptation propels her headfirst into the abyss, CHLOE, a thirty-five year old Manhattan based author finds herself ensnared in a mind game of the highest caliber. In her quest to dispel vulnerability as a myth, she crosses the line between fantasy and reality, falling prey to the electrifying side effects of a self-discovery so potent she has no choice but to complete her breakthrough.

CHLOE is tempted into hell when her best friend, the infamous gay hairstylist Christophe suggests that an online affair is just what she needs to spark her writing. In between juggling her husband Brad's Vicodin addiction, her brother Dylan's cocaine fetish and her mother Cecile's overdose of daily Jewish guilt, Chloe surrenders her common sense for a dance down serendipity's back alley. What begins as a meeting of the minds before a meeting of the flesh soon spirals into a powerful seduction when Chloe meets Bryce, a British Commodities Trader with a posh accent and the ability to chisel away at her defenses like a grand European master. With humor and strength, Chloe struggles with the depths of her vulnerability as she seeks answers to life's multifaceted questions. What she ends up discovering, is herself and exactly what it means to be human.

From the high-powered worlds of New York and London to the pristine beaches of Cancun and Bora Bora, Hopscotch With The Devil is a laugh out loud adrenaline rush into the demons of emotion that simmer beneath the surface of a life filled with choice.
