Book description
A story of family tensions in a small-town rocked by the antics of a cougar.
A heart-warming tale of love in the face of family and friendship,
perfect for fans of Cathy Kelly and Maeve Binchy.
Divorcee Jennifer Irwin has it all - a successful interior design
business and two loving children. But as her 45th birthday approaches
and her children prepare to start their own lives, Jennifer is left
feeling lonely in her empty nest.
That's when she meets Ben Crawford - a man 16 years her junior - as
their attraction heightens, Jennifer realises what she's been missing.
But mindful that the small-town Ballyfergus residents would never
approve, they conduct their affair in secret.
But a secret is never a secret for long…
As the affair surfaces, Jennifer encounters opposition from friends and
family, especially her daughter Lucy. Enraged by her mother's
relationship, Lucy seeks comfort in the arms of charismatic but
troubled, Oren. Jennifer knows that Oren is not the man he seems, but
can she convince her daughter of that?
And with everything going against them, can Jennifer and Ben's love
survive? Or will she risk losing her daughter to be with the man she
loves? "An engrossing read - wonderful.” Maeve Binchy
"Erin Kaye…gave up a career in finance to write, and that, along
with her different background, gives her a breadth that many other
popular writers here don't have - and makes her one of the best."
- Ann Dunne, Irish Independent Review
“Fresh, funny, utterly absorbing right from the first page and quite
unlike anything else out there, Second Time Round is an absolutely
must-read for anyone who'd ever thought that it was too late for love.
Erin Kaye writes with wisdom, warmth and a lovely lightness of touch
you'll adore. Be warned though; it's definitely a
stay-up-till-all-hours- to-finish-it book!” Claudia Carroll Erin Kaye
was born in 1966 in Larne, Co Antrim to a Polish-American father and an
Anglo-Irish mother. She pursued a successful career in finance before
becoming a writer. Her previous bestselling novels include Mothers and
Daughters (2003), Choices (2004), Second Chances (2005), Closer to Home
(2006) and My Husband's Lover (2008) - all published by Poolbeg Press.
She lives in North Berwick on the east coast of Scotland with her
husband Mervyn, two young sons and Murphy the dog.
