| Summary |
"Its been nearly six years since Julia Jones had her heart broken. After her husband became involved with another woman, Julia did everything she could to save their marriage, to no avail. Their two daughters continue to stand by Julia in the wake of their fathers behavior--and theyve had a tough time getting along with the 'other woman' who became their stepmother. Distraught after selling the family home, Julia moves into a condominium complex that offers the warmth and charm of a fresh start. Now, having settled into her new community and sold her successful interior design business, shes embraced a fulfilling new life, one that doesnt seem to need a man in it. Her beloved fathers trusty saying is ringing truer than ever: Its better this way. But when Julia meets a handsome new resident in the buildings exercise room, she cant help but be drawn to him. Heath Johnson is a welcome change from the men shes encountered on the occasional--mostly disastrous--dates her sister has eagerly planned for her over the years. As she and Heath, a divorcé himself, begin to grow close, their friendship blossoms into an unexpected love. However, they soon realize that combining families proves to be a challenge, even though their four children are adults. When a dramatic revelation threatens the happiness theyve found, Julia and Heath must reconcile their love for their children with their love for each other. If they cant, their bright future together may be nothing but a dream"--Provided by publisher. |
