Synopsis
Sometimes old flames burn the brightestFunny, sophisticated, and wise, this heartfelt book is a coming-of-middle-age story about girlfriends when you are no longer a girl, growing up when you are already grown, and the price you are willing to pay for love. Jillian Hunter treasures her independence. She has raised two sons by herself, launched a small business, and restored a tumbledown beach cottage in Connecticut. But when a trip to London reunites her with Colin—an old flame she hasn't seen in 35 years—Jill falls for him all over again. But love makes Jill reckless and Colin isn't quite the boy she remembers. She ends up risking everything she's worked for—her business, her home, and her two closest friends—to make a life with him. And when she's faced with the risk of losing Colin as well, Jill is forced to take an uncomfortably close look at the woman she?s allowed herself to become.

Review
"A wonderfully uplifting story about a woman on her way to fulfillment." —Katie Fforde, author, Life Skills
"A sparklingly attractive novel written with humor, brio and a refreshing unsentimentality." —Elizabeth Buchan, author, Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman
"Seduces easily and satisfies completely. Rich, funny, and loving, reading this book is akin to sharing a perfect meal with old friends. I never wanted the story to end." —Jeanne Ray, author, Julie and Romeo
"Maggie Dana has crafted for us a heroine who is compelling, witty, and refreshingly real. Beachcombing sparkles with sharp dialogue and richly rendered characters wrapped in vivid, charming settings. All this, and it's sexy, too!" —Kristina Riggle, author, Real Life & Liars
"Maggie Dana's first novel is proof that middle age offers no protection against vulnerability when it comes to love and lust. Fifty-something Jill Hunter is as vital, lively, and as optimistic about the future as any twenty-year-old." —Carrie Kabak, author, Cover the Butter
