Jenna Boltz's life is at a crossroads. After a messy divorce from her surgeon husband neatly twenty years ago, she raised two children on her own, juggling motherhood with her beloved job as a Seattle intensive-care nurse. Now that Paul and Allie have grown up and moved out, Jenna is an empty nester--and she can't help but wonder what her future holds. Her best friend, Maureen, is excited: Now is the perfect time to finally book the trip to Paris they've been dreaming of since college. But when it comes to life's other great adventure--dating--Jenna still isn't sure she's ready to let love in . . . until her mother suffers an accident and Dr. Rowan Lancaster saves the day. Despite his stoic exterior, Rowan is immediately smitten with Jenna. And though Jenna is hesitant to be with another surgeon, she is more than a little intrigued. But when Jennas children approach her with shocking news, she realizes that she needs to have faith in love and embrace the unexpected--before the life she has always dreamed of passes her by.
