About this ebook

"Enlightening and empowering..."


Experience is an asset.


That’s what Nina Fontaine’s best friend tells her when she moves from the suburbs to New York City following her divorce. As much as Nina appreciates the dating advice, she’s not interested. At forty-five, she’s spent the last fifteen years trying to fit in as a suburban wife. Now she just wants to settle into her new apartment, find a job that will stretch her savings, and figure out what the rest of her life is going to look like.


But that’s before she meets Liam McAlister.


A photojournalist who’s traveled the globe, Liam is gorgeous and smart — not to mention fifteen years younger than Nina. 


And he isn’t the only man vying for Nina’s attention.


Rich and powerful, Jack Morgan is Liam’s polar opposite. In spite of Nina’s protests, Jack rolls out the big guns to court her, from black tie galas to last minute trips to Paris.

Both men are determined to win her. As they contribute to her reinvention in different way, Nina begins to walk a very unfamiliar tightrope. When their passion escalates to a shocking climax, Nina must accept that she may have fallen too hard, too soon — and make a decision that will change her life forever.

This is the best book I've read in a while. I could relate to the character of Nina and the struggles she was going through in finding her voice. It was nice to read a story about someone in their 40's instead of 20's and their thought process. Looking forward to the next part of Nina's journey.

I was so drawn to Nina Fontaine. She and the rest of the characters don't feel fictitious at all. Even as I do not like stretched plots, this was stretched so beautifully.

Nina's self discovery, her experiments of the city and her friendship circle are what kept me reading.
