After her divorce, Sammi has had a tough time adjusting to the single life. It’s all too easy to shut herself away and hold a pity party...until the young, sexy owner of the corner market sends her flowers and a card to cheer her up.
Flattered and tempted, Sammi decides to take another chance on love. At first, James says all the right things, but all too soon, Sammi’s left wondering if she was just a passing fancy. Can she and James build something lasting, or will the difference in their ages prove an insurmountable obstacle?

Well, certainly the divorce was devastating, but what could I do? My husband wanted out, and he was willing to pay for it. I didn’t even bother consulting a lawyer. I just signed the divorce papers and sent them back to him with a note that said, “You’re free,” signed with my maiden name.
But after that, I wasn’t sure what to do with myself. I sulked around the house for a few days, only going out to walk the dog. So strong was my desire to be alone, I even started ordering delivery. I found out that the grocery store around the corner offered delivery, straight to my doorstep. I signed up on the spot (over the phone, of course) and settled into my comfortable new life as a hermit.
I caught up on a lot of reading and abused my Netflix subscription by watching every sappy movie I could think of. I may or may not have gone through boxes of tissues as I cried out my feelings of failure over Sleepless in Seattle. I never expected to be a divorcee at age 45 - this was not part of my life plan, and the frustration, disappointment, and heartbreak that came over me in waves, came out of me in tears.
