My In-Laws Bled Me Dry—Now Watch Me Collect

From the back cover

On New Year's Eve, after a wife spends the whole day cooking a feast for her in-laws, her sister-in-law Tanya Austin demands seventy thousand in nanny fees for a year of doing almost nothing. When the wife refuses, her mother-in-law takes Tanya's side and threatens her, while her husband, Alex Austin, stays silent. She walks out and spends the holiday alone.

Weeks later, Tanya and Alex return with shopping bags, and the wife blocks the door, reminding them the apartment is her own premarital property. Tanya collapses into a wailing performance for the neighbors, painting herself as the wronged one. Then Alex secretly transfers the seventy thousand out of their account, and the wife cuts off his spending limit.

With her mother-in-law's seventieth birthday banquet approaching, she returns to the small town, where the relatives' whispers make clear whose story they have heard. She has a gift in mind for the family that bled her dry.
