From the bestselling author of Thursdays in the Park comes a novel which asks if you can fall in love with the same person twice . . .

Stella's marriage ended decades ago, after a tragedy that not only shattered her life with her husband but shaped her whole relationship with her daughter, too. Now, despite the tensions that linger between Stella and Eve, Stella is called upon to look after her daughter in her time of need. She just hadn't bargained on being brought back into her handsome, stubborn ex-husband's life too, or that she would find common ground with Jack in their shared adoration for their little grandson. Just as the pain of the past once tore them apart, now the joys of grandparenthood are bringing Stella and Jack back together. But each of them has a new partner and new lives.

Should they fight temptation? Should the past remain the past? Or are some loves simply meant to be?
