Publisher Description

The Old Ducks are back! Discover the next BRAND NEW laugh-out-loud relatable read from Maddie Please, BESTSELLING author of Old Girls Go Greek When Helen Irving agrees to join her friend Juliette on a trip to Cyprus for a sixtieth birthday celebration, she’s looking forward to sunshine, good food and a welcome escape from her obligations back home.

What she’s not expecting is Sam Rivers.

Years ago, Sam was the man her ex-husband blamed for everything that went wrong in his life. Now, thanks to a freak snowstorm in the Troodos mountains, Helen finds herself stranded alone with a man she’s spent her whole life resenting, while the rest of the party are stuck miles away.

As mishaps and late-night conversations bring them closer, Helen begins to realise that Sam is not the man she thought she knew. But after a difficult marriage and a lifetime of putting others first, can she finally take a chance on her own happiness?

A warm, uplifting and laugh-out-loud story about friendship, second chances and discovering that it’s never too late to fall in love. Perfect for fans of Judy Leigh, Dee Macdonald and Kate Galley.
