A story of love, desire and never-ending to-do lists . . . you’ll fall head over heels for this heartfelt, hilarious and spicy romantic comedy with a 40-something heroine

Lisa Darling - high-flying TV-exec and twice-divorced mother-of-two - has enough on her plate without having to deal with the handsome New Yorker parachuted in to her best friend's job at work. She's already navigating life with a difficult teenage son, organising a PTA cheese & wine event, supporting her oldest friend through breast cancer treatment and, since she hit 47, facing a new perimenopause symptom every day. So when Lisa starts feeling overheated every time she clashes with Zach Russo, she convinces herself it will pass. Maybe her HRT just needs adjusting. Until, that is, she finds herself in a sexy - and seriously ill-advised - clinch with him. And then another... All of which leads to one question: these long-forgotten feelings couldn't be caused by something else entirely... could they?

‘Hilarious and SO relatable, I absolutely loved this!’
