Book description
Kate Forrest is invisible… Ned, the husband she adores, doesn't seem to
know she's alive, and her two charming children have grown into stroppy
adolescents. Her boss is suddenly shunting her towards career Siberia,
and her demanding mother is never off the phone. With her fortieth
birthday fast approaching, all Kate wants to do is run away from the lot
of them. And so she does. On impulse, Kate walks out of her job, her
family and her life, and gets on a plane to Italy. With no ties and no
responsibilities, she soon finds herself deliriously caught up in La
Dolce Vita - and the arms of a man barely half her age. But when the
unthinkable threatens her family, Kate is brutally forced to choose
between her past and the future.
