Synopsis

Joan Medlicott's seventh novel in her bestselling series set in Covington, North Carolina, celebrating life, love, and the powerful bonds between the Ladies of Covington.

For Hannah, marriage has never meant happily ever after. Having fled an abusive husband when her daughters were young, she's never had reason to marry again...until now. Her business partner, Max, has proposed because he doesn't want her to be taxed on his estate. Hannah is initially reluctant to enter such an arrangement but logic dictates that she accept. Then, after the wedding, she finds herself spending more time over at Max's and is shocked to discover that she loves him -- wildly and passionately! A part of her wants the marriage to become real, but she's scared of losing herself again -- and more scared, still, that Max doesn't feel the same.

Right when she desperately needs the counsel of her two closest friends, Grace is wrapped up with her partner, Bob, and Amelia is away in New York, being tempted by the glamorous life. Will Hannah find the courage to pursue a real marriage? And what will happen to her relationships with Grace and Amelia if she does?

From Booklist:

In Medlicott's latest Covington novel, the three mature friends, Grace, Amelia and Hannah, who share a home, attempt to understand the men in their lives and figure out just what they want from them. Amelia, a photographer, is preparing for an exhibit of her work in New York, a long way from their small North Carolina town. Grace's boyfriend, Bob, moves next door. He's been asking her to marry him, and she refuses, but seems to need to keep apprised of his every movement in a way she didn't need to before. Hannah has been working with Max. He has asked her to marry him, and she has agreed, although nothing has been said of love, nor kisses exchanged. Even though they love their men, these gals also like their freedom. Is marriage more than just a compromise? Can they achieve some happy medium? Join the ladies and the rest of the colorful cast of characters in the latest of Medlicott's popular homey tales.
