After twenty years of marriage, Zoe Robinson’s husband left to go backpacking across the U.S. and find himself, but all he found was that he didn’t want to be a husband or father anymore.
Devastated but resilient, Zoe has spent the past two years picking up the pieces of her life and starting over. Her children have issues, her house is falling apart, and her catering business isn’t enough to pay the bills. Thank goodness for chilled wine and best friends, because forty isn’t looking so fabulous.
Her weekly girls’ night is what’s keeping her sane.
Zoe’s persistent mother just wants to see her happy, but Zoe insists she’s fine on her own. She’s focusing on taking her catering business to the next level as a party planner, despite her relentless competition sabotaging her every step of the way.
She’s come to like sleeping in the middle. Her feet might get cold, but there’s no risk of her warm heart getting broken again. Until she meets the charming, younger Dr. Chaz Anderson, who is more than willing to help with an offer she’s finding hard to refuse.
Zoe must decide whether to stay in control and in the middle, or choose a side and let someone in.
