Book cover for The Rayburn Affair by Laurie Petrou (House of Anansi): Forthcoming September 2026. When the iconic Shelby Rayburn and her husband, Oscar, make an appearance at an annual faculty party, Dr Ruth Morgan can’t believe her luck. The trio immediately hit it off, and an intoxicating intimacy develops between them, underwritten by a simmering sexual tension. Everything changes when Shelby makes Ruth an offer she can’t refuse—one that she can’t tell anyone about, including Oscar. As boundaries blur and secret alliances form, the dynamic becomes riddled with distrust and threatens to implode. https://houseofanansi.com/collections/anansi-books/products/the-rayburn-affair
