Aya Daniels is a loner with a comfort-eating problem, a woman in debt, whose married expat boss wants to get under her dress. Her meddling aunt and mother think the solution to her problems is a man. But Aya Daniels is still recovering from heartbreak after falling in love with the gorgeous but unreliable Bradley.

When Aya marries Desi, an older man, and friend of the family who adores her, Aya’s problems should be over.

With Desi, there are fancy restaurants to visit and plans to travel the world, a housekeeper and step-children she’s not expected to be step-mother to.

Her debts are paid and her new husband builds her a cabin in their back garden to support her creative pursuits. There she can write that first novel because thanks to Desi, Aya’s also been able to quit her job. Goodbye to that lecherous boss of hers! Hello to living the dream!

Desi willingly works himself to the bone to ensure her financial security.

She should be grateful. She should be happy. She hasn’t married for love but love isn’t everything. At forty, she knows that much.
