The uplifting new story of fresh starts and second chances from the bestselling author Erica JamesâŠSunday Times

After a long and seemingly happy marriage, and a wonderful family Christmas, Louisa is stunned when husband Kip asks for a divorce on Boxing Day. Heâd never seemed unhappy â and theyâve raised three children together.
For months, Kip has been secretly seeing a younger woman â and if that wasnât bad enough â itâs the woman who broke their youngest sonâs heart.
Now Kip is moving out and embarking on a new life with Zoe, and Louisa is left to pick up the pieces. Their beloved family home, Charity Cottage, is up for sale, and tensions are running high.
Yet, despite the betrayal and anger, when Louisa lays eyes on what might be a unique and welcoming new home, she feels a first glimmer of hope that life might be taking a turn for the better.
And while Louisa is making exciting plans, Kip finds himself facing challenges of his own and begins to learn that living the dream may not be as simple as he thoughtâŠ
