Synopsis

A delightful novella from the internationally bestselling author of A Woman of Substance

Jake and Maggie, each fleeing a failed marriage, meet and fall in love, but their pasts throw up obstacles.

Jake Cantrell is suave, charming and a brilliant electrical engineer saddened by the failure of his marriage to Amy. Maggie Sorrell is a bright and elegant interior designer. She, too, has suffered a broken marriage.

Jake and Maggie meet – but despite a blossoming relationship, some of the obstacles seem insurmountable: the fifteen-year difference in their ages, Amy’s sudden illness, her reluctance to divorce Jake, and Maggie’s own inner turmoil.

But together they overcome the odds and find the ultimate: love in another town.

From the Back Cover

Jake Cantrell is suave, charming and blessed with film-star looks. A brilliant and imaginative electrical engineer, Jake, however, is saddened by the marriage to his sweetheart, Amy.

Maggie Sorrell is bright, poised and elegant. An interior designer, she too, has suffered a broken marriage, and is painfully out of touch with her two grown children.

Kent, Connecticut is picturesque; it beckons to both Jake and Maggie. There they become involved in a local amateur dramatics group, and are introduced. They begin to meet, initially on business, then socially. The relationship blossoms, but ahead lie obstacles – the fifteen-year difference in their ages, Amy's sudden illness, her reluctance to divorce Jake, and Maggie's own inner turmoil. But together they overcome the odds and find the ultimate: love in another town.

‘Few novelists are as consummate as Barbara Taylor Bradford at keeping the reader turning the page. She is one of the world's best at spinning yarns.’
