Sometimes second chances take a little time . . .
Susie Keane is mourning the death of her husband. They had a wonderful forty years of marriage, but now she’s unsure of what to do with her life.
Until the arrival of the annual Christmas card from the oh-so-perfect Bailey family gives Susie the push she so desperately needs. Next year, she’ll be the one with the exciting stories to gloat about.
Hello cooking courses, motorbike lessons and pole-dancing classes! Goodbye moping about and feeling sorry for herself.
But then something happens that Susie isn’t prepared for – a school reunion.
And she definitely isn’t prepared to meet a man who does the impossible. Bob Diamond is the first person to put a smile back on Susie’s face.
Bob lost his wife eighteen months ago and knows exactly what Susie’s going through. And it doesn’t hurt that he’s a singer and guitar player in a band. Together, perhaps they can fall back in love with life and find joy again.
With Bob by her side, Susie soon discovers that, sometimes, the best gift of all is the one that brings two lonely hearts together . . .
