When one man’s midlife crisis leads to world-class drama, one couple is left to cope with the fallout.
When Tori Hampshire’s husband decided he was entitled to an affair since he couldn’t buy the sports car he wanted, his actions tore apart their family. In the wake of their separation and divorce, she started a scrapbook she lovingly called: Midlife Crisis Maladies. The intent was to finish it when her divorce from her cheating husband was finalized and then burn it all to ash along with every memory of that tumultuous year.
The culmination of her project seemed to be timed perfectly, since the same day she finished, she ran into a man who rocked her freshly single foundation.
Garrick Edgewood'''s life started over three years after the death of his beloved wife. He brought his 12 and 17 year old kids back to the United States to give them all a fresh start where they could make new, happier memories without being haunted by the constant reminders of the woman they all loved and lost.
He hadn’t even considered dating again, not seriously anyway, until the day he overheard Tori call her ex-husband something wholly unflattering. When she explained the context, Garrick was immediately enamored with the spitfire of a woman.
What started out as a brilliant romance, full of possibility, was quickly derailed by a common link neither knew they shared.
That toxic link posed an almost insurmountable obstacle in their relationship and put the blending of their families on hold while they each dealt with past wounds that didn’t seem to heal properly and a woman who was determined to create as much havoc for Tori as possible.
