The Cocktail Club: a Novel Pat Tucker

When cocktails once a week isn?t enough, three friends form the Cocktail Club?but what begins as social drinking quickly morphs into something far more sinister.

Ivee Henderson is a media consultant accustomed to being in control. But when her drinking goes from casual to reckless, she?s forced to pay a price that?s higher than any check she could ever write.

A stay-at-home mom, Darby Jaxon is fed up with her life. She starts secretly drinking to get through each day and to hide her dirty little secret: the fact that she can?t stop thinking about the drunk driver who killed her sister?mainly because she?s drawn to him like a moth to a flame.

For single mom Peta Nixon, under the influence is the only way she can stomach her ex-husband. Since their separation (because of his bed-hopping habits), they can?t seem to keep their hands off each other?that is, until one night, when her drinking ends it all for good.

Everything is more manageable after a few drinks?or so it seems for the ladies in The Cocktail Club. Problems shrink, work is less stressful, and love finally has clarity. But is drinking really the answer or is a dark payback waiting for them at the bottom of each cocktail?
