Stones — Marilyn Baron

When Julie Paver's husband Matt moves his business to Atlanta, she is forced to leave behind her thriving jewelry boutique, Stones. The move threatens their twenty-five-year marriage, because now if Matt isn't out of town negotiating a merger, he's spending late hours on overseas phone calls with his sexy-sounding second-in-command.

Feeling neglected and unloved, Julie seeks closure by reconnecting with her first love, Manny, when he pursues her with his Internet innuendos. Manny is unaware he's the father of Julie's son, and Julie contemplates revealing the secret to him on the eve of their son's wedding. But would such a walk down memory lane be worth the cost?

Julie and Manny finally meet at her oceanfront condo -- in the midst of a hurricane -- and elements collide to create the perfect storm in a coming-of-middle-age crisis.
