Love Lessons — Marian Oaks

How could her life have turned itself around so quickly in this heartstopping, whirlwind way? The ink was barely dry on Carolyn Ames's divorce papers -- a divorce she certainly hadn't wanted, after nearly four decades of marriage. And now look at her! She has an exciting and challenging job and a handsome, silver-haired architect who absolutely adores her. Don't such things happen only in the movies, or in fairy tales? On the other hand, Carolyn isn't absolutely sure she's ready to give up her hard-won independence. Life as a single woman is turning out to be exhilarating as well as somewhat scary. What to do?

Tongues are wagging in Carolyn's small, ultra-conservative Georgia town, but she and Jason aren't going to pay any attention. Their brand-new, starry-eyed love makes them feel like teenagers again, with a lot of living left to do and a lot more to learn about love.
