"Polar Vortex is a seductive and tension-filled novel about a lesbian couple who left the big city, where they had both lived for many years, to relocate to a bucolic countryside community where they knew no one and no one knew them. It seemed like a good idea to both Priya and Alex to cement their newish, later-in-life relationship by leaving the past behind to create a new life together. But there's leaving the past behind-and then there's running away from awkward histories. Priya seems totally committed to her relationship with Alex, but she has a secret-a long-standing on-again, off-again relationship with a man, Prakash. In Priya's mind Prakash is little more than an old friend, but in reality it's a bit more complicated. And, she's never told Alex about him. Prakash has tracked Priya down in her new life, and before she realizes what she's doing, she invites him to visit. Alex is not pleased, and soon the existing cracks in their relationship widen, not least because Alex has her own secrets. And then there's Prakash, who has an agenda of his own, fueled by years of resentment about what he sees as Priya's slipperiness and duplicity. Things soon come to a head and the three must all reap the consequences of their choices"--
