Kathryn Hawthorne, local Chicago celebrity, thinks everything in her life is just fine. She has friends, money, a jobโeverything she needs to survive. Except, of course, love, which, after getting her heart broken, she avoids like the plague. Pam Phillips, on the other hand, just buried the love of her lifeโher husband of twenty-one years. The last thing she wants is a new friend, let alone a new love interest. When the two women meet and swap witty banter, things start to change. Kathryn can feel that familiar tug of desire in her chest as she suggestsโin a smooth as silk wayโthat they meet up again someday. In a moment of pure insanityโor desperationโPam decides to take a chance. What happens next changes Pamโs life forever.
