A warm, later-in-life coming-out romance about the mess and magic of starting over. Perfect for fans of Haley Cass, Rachel Lacey, and Clare Lydon. One year after her divorce, Micky Ferro is drifting, and the restless wanting she's buried for twenty years is getting harder to ignore. When her best friend talks her into a job at the Pink Bean café, Micky tells herself it's just something to do. Then Robin Mortimer walks in. Arrogant, abrupt, yet with a smile that instantly disarms. When Robin asks her out-giving Micky twenty-four hours' notice, because apparently she "looks like the type who has to think about it"-Micky knows she should say no. Robin is too loud, too confident, and clearly not looking for anything serious. But Micky has spent her whole adult life playing it safe, and this could be her only chance to answer the question that's been burning her up at night. Now she's falling. Not just into bed, but into the kind of reckless, terrifying, all-consuming need that has many strings attached... This lesbian romance includes: - A later-in-life coming-out story - Opposites attract - Found family and queer community - Friends with benefits - Confession in the pouring rain
