Fact:

Nearly 40% of all married men cheat on their wives

Less than 30% of these women ever find out

And only 1% of unfaithful men are actually caught in the act

Until now…

Novelist Jessica Brody explores the thorny issue of infidelity in her dazzling debut, THE FIDELITY FILES, the story of a charismatic Los Angeles woman who goes undercover as a “fidelity inspector” to find out who's faithful and who's not.

Working under the code name Ashlyn, Jennifer Hunter is hired by suspicious wives and girlfriends to conduct her infamous “fidelity inspection” on the men in their lives.

But Jen’s double life starts to take its toll and her friends and family suspect that the reason she never dates is more complicated than the demands of her supposed “investment banking” career. And when a suspicious email surfaces with her picture on it warning men of her real motives, Jen fears that her secret identity is in danger of being uncovered. Just when it seems like nothing is going her way, Jen meets sexy, sophisticated Jamie Richards. She knows there’s no room for real romance in her life, yet she finds herself drawn to him. But before she retires her secret agent self for the sake of true love, she takes on one last assignment – a job which will permanently alter her perceptions of trust, honesty, and love.
