A Short Story

There’s more than one way to get hot in the summer.

Every member of the Mills family hides something except Mary Ann, diligent housewife and doting mother. When she leaves town to take care of her ailing mom, her family breathes a momentary sigh of relief.

Little do they know they’ve lost their only defense against Mary Ann’s scheming friend, Sheila, who has secret desires of her own. Mary Ann’s absence provides the perfect opportunity to slip in and shake things up.
