Cringeworthy: A Romance Goes Rogue

by Irene Woodbury

Overview

     What do you do when you discover that the man you've loved for 10 years has been secretly having an affair with a showgirl for 18 months—and he has just flown to Las Vegas to propose to her?

     You could do the ladylike thing, congratulate them, and move on graciously. You could react more compulsively by eating too much ice cream, drinking too much wine, and arranging a slew of online dates. Or you could do what Crescent Weevil, a despairing girl Friday, does:  steal $5,000 from the office safe, drive like a maniac from Michigan to Vegas, break into the showgirl's condo, kidnap your boyfriend at gunpoint, and then gag and handcuff the girlfriend to her bed.

     Can a happy ending possibly be lurking beneath all of the chaos and craziness? Find out in darkly funny Cringeworthy:  A Romance Goes Rogue.

About the Author

Luckily for all you fans of romantic fiction, Irene Woodbury knows that what happens in Las Vegas doesn't have to stay there. The Denver-based author has captured the heart and soul of Sin City in four darkly funny novels, and two dramatic ones.

Porch Pirate Love (2022), explores the turbulent romance between a brash porch pirate and a sassy single mom-to-be. A Slot Machine Ate My Midlife Crisis (2021), is an up-close-and-personal look at a newlywed's funny midlife crisis in Vegas. In darkly humorous Honeymoon Roulette (2021), a bride goes rogue after learning her handsome fiance may have killed his first two wives. Its companion novella, Annie & Charlotte: The Dead Wives of Connor J. Barrington, was also published in 2021.

On the darker side, the gritty, engrossing Romeo Stalker (2021), chronicles a Vegas showgirl's agonizing plunge into stalker-hell. And Love and Payback (2021) is a probing look at a married woman's mysterious death in Sin City, where she has gone to meet an Internet love.
