After twenty years of marriage, the last ten being loveless, Mavis Zimmerman finally kicked her husband to the curb. With her three teenage children slowly taking the next step in their own lives, she was left with empty nest syndrome. With them gone, or almost out of the house, she had nothing to do except work, start a new secret project, and get to know one of her neighbors better.
Glenn Harris has loved Mavis since the day he met her. Even though they had both been married to other people at the time. It helped that his son was her son's best friend, and he heard about her all the time. When he realized Mavis was finally getting a divorce, he couldn't wait to ask her out. But he refused to be the first one she dated after being with her husband for twenty years.
Once Mavis and Glenn started dating, it was everything he had dreamed it could be. Until Mavis learned a secret he had been keeping from her regarding her youngest child, and she broke it off with him. Would she ever forgive him, or was his first assumption correct and he was her rebound?
