Synopsis

“A seesaw of rising tension that ultimately delivers a raw, crashing conclusion… An intensely emotional psychological roller coaster.” —Library Journal on Nanny Dearest

A young woman’s life is torn apart when her wealthy ex-lover is found dead—along with his wife.

Vera is ruthlessly ambitious, beautiful, and knows how to get exactly what she wants—no matter who stands in the way. When she meets a wealthy older man on an exclusive dating app, she thinks nothing of the wife he tells her he’s separated from. But days later, when the man and his wife are found dead in their home, Vera is immediately blamed for their deaths and branded as good as a murderer.

A year later, she emerges from a cocoon of self-pity and tries to reenter the world, but the specter of scandal still clings to her. Then she’s invited to a memorial for the wife of her former lover. As she learns more about the family, and about the couple and their friends, she begins to suspect there was more to the story than an affair gone wrong. In a quest for redemption, Vera uncovers layers of lies and close-kept secrets held by an inner circle of filthy rich tech millionaires who will go to any lengths to protect their reputations.

About Flora Collins

Flora Collins was born and raised in New York City and has never left, except for a four-year stint at Vassar College. When she's not writing, she can be found watching reality shows that were canceled after one season or attempting to eat soft-serve ice cream in bed (sometimes simultaneously). Nanny Dearest is her first novel, and draws upon personal experiences from her own family history.

Goodreads review by Nilufer on August 11, 2022

Heart throbbing web of lies built around tech millionaires with lots of twists, internet stalking, obsession! This is absolutely thrilling ride! I could love this book more if I didn’t detest the characters and barely pass through the first third. It was a little slow burn but thankfully the pacing......more

A Small Affair has colossal consequences for one high-powered woman in fashion. Vera is not afraid to go after what she wants, not particular about who she might have to walk over to get there.

Goodreads review by Amy on November 05, 2022

I’m usually not a huge fan of a slow burn mystery but there was something incredibly intoxicating about this one that held my attention. I think a big part of the reason was that I was captivated by the authors writing style, she managed to write a story full of unlikable characters and somehow I wa......more

Goodreads review by Nicole on December 30, 2022

Do you like drama? This book has plenty of it. I could not put it down. It was a quick, fast paced thrill ride with short chapters and many “omg” moments. A great book to end the year! Vera is a confident, go-getter who doesn’t let anyone or anything stand in her way. She has a high status position......more

Goodreads review by Mary on April 08, 2023

Somehow, I totally missed the fact that Flora Collins was the same author who wrote Nanny Dearest (which I loved btw), so now I'm even more excited that I read A Small Affair! This was another solid story for me, and I loved how it ended up shocking me. There are a decent amount of character viewpoi......more
