共 Lydia Delaney lives an unassuming life in the village of Alfriston, nestled along the south coast. With her dad Joe, who has dementia, her daughter Sass and her dear old shih tzu, Gus, she believes this is her lot. Running a thriving therapy practice of eclectic clients, there is very little time for love. Not that she wants it. A sticky divorce put paid to that. Until an intriguing email from a Mr Marrow changes her life forever.
Jed Harrison, an alcoholic and unapologetic rock star lives an altogether different life. Running from the demons of his past, he finds his escape in the company of booze and women. Living a life of fame and fortune, he’s unstoppable. But one fateful day in The Grand Hotel in Brighton changes everything.
Reluctantly recuperating in Alfriston, Jed finds surprising new friendships and, at last, a love that neither he nor Lydia ever dreamed possible. However, an unwelcome visitor with roots closer to home threatens to turn their lives upside down. Jed knows only one way to deal with problems, but it’s not Lydia’s way. Will his hopes for a future be dashed when Lydia leaves for Tuscany? Can an unwitting liaison with a stranger in Lucca test Lydia’s loyalty to the life she’s left behind?
A comeback concert and the greatest gift Lydia could ever receive hang in the balance. For a therapist and a rock star, can there ever really be a happy ending?
A story of love, hilarity, loss, healing, forgiveness and second chances.
