Beschreibung des Verlags
From the bestselling author of Funny You Should Ask comes an inspiring romance novel about honouring the past, living in the present, and loving for the future.
Can you really find a once-in-a-lifetime love . . . twice?
In her small Montana hometown, Lauren Parker has assumed a few different roles: teenage hellraiser; sister of superstar Gabe Parker; and most recently, tragically widowed single mother. She's never cared much about labels or what people thought about her, but dealing with her grief has slowly revealed that she's become adrift in her own life.
Then she meets the devilishly handsome actor Ben Walsh on the set of her brother's new movie. They have instant chemistry, and Lauren realizes that it has been far too long since someone has really and truly seen her. Her rebellious spirit spurs her to dive headfirst into her desire, but when a sexy encounter becomes something more, Lauren finds herself balancing old roles and new possibilities.
There's still plenty to contend with: her disapproving mother-in-law, the complications of Ben's fame, and her daughter's unpredictable moods. An unexpected fling seemed simple at the time - so when did everything with Ben get so complicated? And is there enough room in her life for the woman Lauren wants to be?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A widow opens herself up to new love in this smart and moving romance from bestseller Sussman (Funny You Should Ask). The novel toggles between past and present, following Lauren Parker as she falls in love with and marries her childhood sweetheart, Spencer, and, years later, as she mourns him and struggles to solo parent their teenage daughter, Lena. When, in the present, her brother, Gabe, a famous actor, invites Lauren and Lena to the set of his latest film, Lauren is walloped by lust at first sight of his costar, Hollywood heartthrob Benjamin Walsh, who's several years younger than her. Ben reciprocates Lauren's feelings, leading to a steamy encounter, but he wants more from her than just a casual fling. Lauren panics when Gabe, Ben, and their close friend Ollie turn up in her Montana hometown to renovate a local theater and stage a play. The close proximity forces big decisions—and readers will root for Lauren to make the right choices. Though there's some tonal dissonance between past and present chapters, Sussman skillfully handles sensitive topics, including Lauren and Lena's grief and Gabe's struggles with alcoholism. Moments of levity, most often provided by snarky supporting character Ollie, inject some fun into all the drama. It's heavier than Sussman's last book, but fans will still find plenty to enjoy.
