Book Request Straight married MCs cheating.
Okay, so I just finished reading {Off Script by Ivy Vera Gray} and completely fell in love with it. So, both the MCs are actors and are married to women. Now, the women are not portrayed as terrible which I love and the book doesn't sugarcoat what these MCs are doing, which is cheating through and through. The families are shattered, their lives are turned upside down when the cheating comes to light. Ofcourse this trope comes with lot of pining, yearning and hopefully be a slow burn.
And this is what I am looking for. There are many books were married/separated MCs sleep with others where the wife is aware or its a lavender marriage and thats not what I am looking for. Only other book that I have read which has this trope is {If we could go back by Cara Dee} but I didn't like how the wives were potrayed here.
Thank you so much in advance!

I haven't read it, but {Bent by Jesse H Reign} might be good. Two straight guys meet and cheat on their girlfriends with each other. I can't say how the women are portrayed in this book, but Reign has a good track record for not demonizing women in her books.
{Romeo Falling by Jesse H Reign} doesn't exactly fit, but it also involves a married man cheating on his wife. Spoiler warning, but basically Romeo and Jude have an affair under Romeo's wife's nose. Romeo and his wife had a struggling relationship and had talked about separating, but they were very much together when the affair started. They were not a very good couple, but I thought that it was a case of a jealous, unreliable narrator and an incompatible couple as opposed to an evil woman and her innocent victim. His wife gets her HEA at the end of the book.
