'Trisha Ashley writes with remarkable wit and originality - one of the best writers around.' KATIE FFORDE

‘It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man of over forty is in possession of a major defect . . .’

Cassandra Leigh has woken as if from a bad dream: 44, desperate for a baby, and finally out of patience waiting for her 20 year affair with Max to end happily ever after. Maybe Max is not the only man for her?

Perhaps she could find love with her friend Jason – though he’s perhaps a little too rugged, and there’s something strange about the way his wife disappeared . . . Or there’s Dante, the mysterious stranger she meets on a dark night in his haunted manor house . . .

Cass must throw caution to the wind and claim the life she’s always wanted. Suddenly, it’s a choice between Mr Right, Mr Wrong or Mr Right Now . . .

Fantastically funny and whimsical, this heart-warming novel will charm fans of Milly Johnson and Jill Mansell.
