At sixty-four, Michelle thought her best years were behind her. She couldn't have been more wrong . . .

When Michelle’s beloved husband Eddie dies, she thinks the best part of her life has gone with him. Then her mother passes away and leaves her half a million pounds — money Michelle is certain she doesn't deserve.

Determined to give every penny to charity, Michelle sets out to find the worthiest cause. And she's not doing it alone.

There's Doug — her landlord, her brother's oldest friend, and the rugby-playing heartthrob of her teenage dreams. He's kind. He's funny, and he still makes her stomach flip like she's sixteen again. There's just one problem, Doug has broken more hearts than Michelle has had hot dinners, and she's not about to become another name on his list.

Then she meets dashing charity trustee, Luke, and is swept into a world of scarlet ball gowns and champagne. For the first time in years, Michelle feels beautiful. Desired. Worth it.

But a forgotten suitcase, hidden away in storage, holds a secret about her inheritance. As Michelle digs deeper into the truth, she faces some big decisions — about the money, her future and who her heart truly belongs to.

A swoon-worthy, heart-melting, second-chance romance packed with warmth, humour, and the unmistakable flutter of a love that was always meant to be. Perfect for fans of Caroline James, Sarah Morgan, Milly Johnson, Maddie Please and Judy Leigh.
