She designed the experiment.
He rewrote the results.

Some wives forgive. Some wives leave. Madeline does something far more dangerous: she takes control.

When Madeline discovers Ethan’s affair with Noelle, she doesn’t fall apart. She doesn’t confront him. Instead, she makes a calculated decision that will change all three of their lives: she introduces herself to Noelle, and the real game begins.

Behind every whispered word Ethan believes is Noelle’s, Madeline is the architect. She feeds the script—what to say, how to touch him, when to pull away. She controls every variable. She watches. She waits. She is certain she knows exactly how this ends.

She is wrong.

Because the most dangerous miscalculation a strategist can make is underestimating their subject. And as Madeline’s carefully constructed experiment begins to fracture at the edges, she starts to wonder: when did she stop watching the maze—and when did she become lost inside it?

The Wife’s Experiment is a razor-sharp psychological thriller about the seductive illusion of control—and what happens when the woman pulling the strings slowly realizes someone else has been pulling hers.
