But when Alicia and Dr. Strub begin an affair, a dramatic chain of events ensues that gradually but drastically changes the office environment—ultimately requiring all five coworkers to redefine their relationships to one another. Finally, a questionable business venture precipitates a tragedy that will either tear them apart or bring them closer together.
Touching and insightful, The Office of Desire an office novel that will resonate with anyone who has ever experienced the unlikely alliances that develop at work, and seen what happens when those relationships are altered.

About the Author
Martha Moody is the author of the national bestseller Best Friends and the novel The Office of Desire. A practicing physician, she lives in Ohio with her family.
From AudioFile
This medical office melodrama features Dr. Will Strub, a Christian fundamentalist; his partner, Hap Markowitz, a nonobservant Jew; Alicia, a nurse; Caroline, the receptionist; and Brice, a shy accountant. Office politics are strained when the IRS comes after the doctors, who are involved in a suspicious patent medicine operation. Alternating between Hap's and Caroline's perspectives, played to the hilt by Renée Raudman and Todd McLaren, the messy interminglings take a risky turn when Will's wife leaves him and he marries Alicia. Other dramatic events follow, including a suicide. There's a little too much going wrong, and the audiobook could have used an abridgment.
