Meg J. Parry Livres

Intelligent, attractive and successful, forty-eight-year-old bank manager Laurel seems to have made it. Yet, she is unfulfilled and alone, her love life a string of failures.In a semi-autobiographical narrative, which is honest, touching and funny, her sudden flight to happiness and rediscovery on the Fylde coast is hampered by her own butterfly nature.After a chance meeting, the perceptive Stella becomes her guide as the wheels Laurel has set in motion obey the laws of emotional physics; but realising her dream of rekindling a lost relationship means revealing a deep secret.

Laurel, now in her late forties, used to be Lawrence. Leaving her London banking career behind, she becomes engaged to Adrian, the man she has longed for. How will his teenagers take the news? And will she keep her naturally rampant libido under control? As new people pop into her new life, the temptations are great. "Please don't play around, Laurel, if we're going to be together. I can't go through that again," Adrian said, so earnestly that Laurel thought about her response for a moment. "I won't, Adrian. I don't want to screw this up like all the others." "Promise?" "I promise," she said, kissing his lips softly. "But I can still look," she giggled. Looking seems to be second-nature to Laurel. Can she keep her promise to the man she intends to marry and maintain his children's trust?
