Synopsis

Can you know what you want before you have it? Or do you have to lose it to know for sure? Mild-mannered Matt Coxwell has finally found something worth fighting for. In fact, it's only after he's left his marriage that he realizes he hasn't fought this hard for anything since he fell like a ton of bricks for his wife Leslie. How did their marriage shift from idyllic into idle? And is there any way back? Leslie Coxwell, long rumored to be the most organized working mother alive, is suddenly having a tough time coping. Her job's in jeopardy, her teenage daughter has attitude to spare (well, that's not new), and her formidable mother-in-law has moved in unexpectedly...with two very large poodles. She could juggle it all with the right motivation. Unfortunately her husband, Matt — the motivation for everything Leslie has ever done — turned into a sexy enigmatic stranger right before he walked out the door. Even better, he's gone to stay with his free-spirited ex-fiancé, the one woman who makes Leslie feel as sexy as dirty dishwater. The only good news is that Leslie still has the greatest lingerie collection known to womankind and she's prepared to use it. After all, to give her marriage one more chance, to take the chance on falling in love one more time, she'll need all the support she can get... This edition includes an excerpt from ALL OR NOTHING.

From Booklist:

Matt Coxwell believes his wife, Leslie, does not understand him, so he leaves her and their 13-year-old daughter, Annette, in Boston and goes to New Orleans to find his former girlfriend, an artist. Only after Matt leaves does Leslie start to evaluate her own life. Behind her prim exterior is a woman with fantastic lingerie and a great sense of humor, and she is determined to find out what she truly wants in life. Although Leslie supports the family, she starts to appreciate everything Matt did, especially making coffee in the morning. As she gives up control, she realizes what she has missed and hopes that Matt will reach the same conclusion so that they can save their marriage. Cross gives her readers an intimate portrait of a marriage and family dynamics that is by turns poignant and amusing. A witty and insightful look at serious issues pertaining to love and life that will win many fans. Patty Engelmann
