Are you the Jack Mathews I met on Santa Catalina Island twenty-one years ago?
One question and the past is back-uninvited, unforgiving and determined to wreck Jack's world.
Elizabeth Lambert is a master of reinvention. From Californian trailer-park teen to celebrated interior designer with a picture-perfect life-she has everything-except the love she lost at fifteen. So when the pandemic hits, she tracks him down.
Jack Mathews is now a struggling car dealer in a small town near San Diego, father of three and married to a beloved school principal. But once he answers that first message, Jack and Elizabeth's flirtatious exchange rapidly escalates into an erotic obsession, with both wondering: What if...?
Then Elizabeth arrives in Jack's hometown, ready to risk everything for the life they had once imagined, but is Jack willing to do the same?
If the life you wanted came at a cost, how much would you be willing to pay?
Review :
"Whip smart and very funny."
"The title is an understatment!"
"Great fun read with enjoyably despicable and brilliantly heroic protagonists."
"Bold plot, unpredictable and immersive drama."
"Is it possible to reclaim a lost love later in life? It's the stuff of fantasy, but when put into practice, can open the door to chaos."
