Andrea Brinlee has seen it all. She's trusted too much, loved too much and seen far to much. This west Texas girl can tell you the exact day she knew love was never going to carry her anywhere and with the same grit of that Odessa sand, she knew she would pull herself up by her own boots and find success. That was until, life started throwing the punches and it just never seemed to stop. Three kids and a string of failed relationships behind her, she had given up on finding anyone to keep her warm at night. That was until she met Brock, the tall, solid investment banker from Atlanta. Brock oozed old southern money and dripped Georgia charm. His facial hair was more manicured than the White House rose garden and the Brown University encrusted cuff links gleamed like helicopter search lights off his wrists. Search lights... just like the lights over the desert of El Paso that had been searching for Andrea just a few years ago. Her mix matched flip flops were more apparent to her than they had been the past two weeks and Andrea felt herself shrinking into the fire of embarrassment that burned in her gut. The confident woman who ruled the one stoplight Texas town wanted to disappear in flames in his presence. But as fate would have it, flames would be exactly what would pull Brock to Andrea in a near death experience that would leave him craving her touch like the strongest drug. But can these two from the most opposite of worlds ever find their way out of the fire, or will they burn out in nationwide infamy?

"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in all the madness? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that left her at loss of what to do! As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system--can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover?

"...the new Bridget Jones, a working woman's take on the digital age." About the Author: Working mother, annoying vegetarian and red wine enthusiast, Renee lives in Toronto with her flawed but wonderful family (seriously, who left socks on the kitchen counter?) in a flawed but wonderful house (what *is* that smell in the basement?).
