What to expect

💖The BRAND NEW second-chance romance from bestseller, Maxine Morrey, winner of the RNA Romantic Comedy Award 2024. 💫 Perfect for fans of Celia Anderson, Milly Johnson and Katie Fforde.❤️

Every moment of your life is a second chance...

Kitty Collins was once a confident, carefree fashion history student living her best life in Paris. But then Tomas Laurent broke her heart and she retreated back to England.

A year later, Kitty’s a married stay-at-home mum and those big hopes and dreams have been replaced by nappy changes, school runs and dinner parties for her husband’s Academia colleagues.

Now fifty and recently divorced, Kitty is empowered to embrace single life and finally makes plans with Sasha, her daughter, to return to the city that stole her heart to move forward with her life.

But when a chance encounter awakens feelings she’d forgotten she had Kitty begins to wonder whether the ghosts of Paris should be left in the past.

With the help of old friends and new friends, can Kitty discover the woman she’s supposed to be and fall in love with the City of Light once more?

A smart, emotional, funny romance perfect for fans of Celia Anderson, Milly Johnson and Katie Fforde.
