"Women disrupted many ageist and sexist expectations regarding older women's dating lives. They challenged the gendered double standard providing men with much more flexibility with regard to choosing younger partners."
~ Dr Milaine Alarie

Yolanda is angry. Her partner of ten years wants another break - his third in two years. This time, she won't wait for him.

Enter 24-year-old Jacob, who rocks her steadfast life to its foundations and challenges her opinions with wisdom beyond his years.

Reluctant to encourage him at first, due to the age gap, Yolanda soon warms to this promising young semi-pro footballer. But her courage is tested not only by thinly-veiled ridicule from the circle of friends she still shares with her ex, but also unintentionally at an industry dinner amongst peers when Jacob is assumed to be a paid male escort. On top of that, he's being courted by a talent scout from a Ligue 1 team, and a contract to play in France is thought to be only weeks away. Is the disruption too much?

This is the first book in an intertwined series about the lives and loves of three professionally successful women in their mid-40s who have been friends for over two decades and are at a crossroads in their lives. The books run concurrently, mostly within the span of six weeks, and include crossover scenes/events from the main female characters' points of view. They can be read alone, but the best experience will come from reading all of them in order.
