Duos of Reversal. Duos of Reversal, #5

Duo-Five in the "Duos of Reversal" collection contains two contemporary tales of fantasy and interracial female-led reversals of outrageous but believable provenance. Read on, as a childless English couple travel to Chennai on India's Bay of Bengal to accept the wife's inheritance from a recently passed aunt. Neither of them to know they will never be returning to England again. An absence that is going to prove far less pleasing to the husband than the wife if the  Indian housekeeper formerly with the aunt has a say in the matter.
A housekeeper with a well-kept secret that is going to prove potent for the newly arrived couple as she shows the wife how love can take many forms. Forms likely to see the husband marginalised in his own marriage! A long married Englishman's misdeeds catch-up with him when the Indian widow who is now his employer discovers he has been quietly embezzling money from her company to pay his gambling addiction.
And, more life threateningly, his debt to a Chinese mobster. A mobster perfect for the designs of the assertive Indian widow about to offer him a deal that will rid the loyal and attractive wife of a snake while keeping her employee at her side.. For good. And in a position she considers far more suitable for a man of his quality. Or, to be more precise, his complete lack of it! Duo-Five contains: "An Addictive Darkness" by Rafael Menton; and "The Indenturing" from Malkin Jamali. 2-Believable and contemporary fictional fantasies of interracial relationships from a female-led perspective; written in the psychological style for those readers with a preference for exercising the darker side of the imagination with the help of credible and character-driven plotlines.
