    About this ebook

    It's New Year's Eve, and Lily is feeling anything but festive.

    Lily Lang has just discovered at the age of forty that she can't have it all. Her career with Doctors Without Borders is rewarding but consuming, and her recent divorce proves it. As she announces the bad news to her best friends over dinner on New Year's Eve, she's on the verge of giving up on love forever.

    Will a chance encounter on the roof just restore her faith in finding the yin to her yang? Handsome Simon certainly hopes so.

    This is a Late Bloomers Series short story and includes all five main characters from the series.

    About The Late Bloomers Series: After a lifetime of friendship bordering on sisterhood, five 40-something women from Arizona each embark on their own adventures in love, travel, and discovery around the globe. Knowing themselves far better than they did in their 20s and 30s, these seasoned women are ready to take on the world. If 40 is the new 20, these women are just getting started.

Betsy is the host of the Quickie Romance Podcast, where she gets steamy with imaginary characters for your listening pleasure every single week. She also co-hosts The Married with Luggage Podcast with her husband Warren. This woman has no shame. She loves cava, sunshine, unconventional thinkers, and schedule-free days. She is an introvert, a feminist, and a loud laugher. Her latest obsession is flamenco dancing.
