Author Description

When Beth, a stay-at-home wife who is fast approaching forty, decides to put some romance back into her flagging marriage, her plans are thwarted when her husband announces he's leaving her for his intellectual equal. All he leaves Beth with is an order to vacate the family home and the wrath of her acid-tongued mother-in-law. Beth has no career, no money and no self-esteem. With little in the way of qualifications and work experience, Beth's best friend Jackie manages to find her a job at a care home. The work is challenging, and with a string of obstacles being dropped on her, one after another, her life descends into chaos. There is a flicker of light on the horizon, however, when handsome Ryan Morgan enters her life and offers to dog-sit her beloved dog, Rodney. But are they meant to be together? And will they be able to pursue a relationship when she discovers more secrets about those she thought she knew so well?
