“Infidelity Rules” is Joelle Babula’s unapologetic guide to desire, danger, and emotional arson. Quinn doesn’t ask permission. She sips the wine, breaks the rules, and devours you like dessert.

Host Matthew Gray reveals Joelle with precision—showcasing the mind, personality, and tasting notes of an author who burns the rulebook and never looks back.

In this engaging conversation, the author discusses her debut novel 'Infidelity Rules,' exploring themes of desire, relationships, and the complexities of infidelity.
