Adelaide Jones is about to taste the sweet life. Raising her 5-year-old twins is getting easier and her husband, Joe, is selling his IT company for an ungodly sum. Then, it all implodes. Could her quest to be indispensable to her husband have rendered her invisible instead? Maybe it’s time Joe learned just how pampered his life is.

When Alec, an unrequited love from the past, invites her to the Greek Islands, she flees on a whim. With bass beating in time with her heart, she isn't a wife or mother, but even in paradise things aren’t always what they seem. Enmeshed in the lives of her new friends and succumbing to old passions, responsibility comes calling.

She returns home to find her world inexorably altered. Can she muster the courage to build the life she always dreamed of or will she succumb to her stifling sense of duty?

Industry Reviews

'Fun, flirty and full of laughs! Written with style and substance. I fell in love with the characters and was taken on a ride through their highs and lows while being transported to an exotic Greek Island,’ Nicole O’Brian, Montrose, Victoria.

‘I devoured this book! From a bleak season in London I was magically transported to the warm, balmy nights of Greece to follow Adelaide’s adventure of spontaneity, love, lust, resilience and self-belief. Fun, inspiring and complete escapism!’ Lisa Kelly, London, UK.

‘Never a dull moment, nor a dull character. I was completely invested in the life of Adelaide Jones from the very first page. Every twist and turn had me captivated and some of the characters had me laughing out loud. This novel is an absolute joy to read, and at the same time grapples with very real and challenging themes that people, and especially mothers of young children, cannot avoid and must find a way through. Sometimes those challenges make us lose something of ourselves and sometimes they help us return to ourselves. I thoroughly recommend,’ Marion Osmond, Eltham, Victoria.
