Today, HJ is pleased to share with you Bethany Lopez’s new release: Starter Wife
USA Today Bestselling Author Bethany Lopez brings you an all-new trilogy about getting a second chance at love.
Follow Whitney, Summer, and Margo as they experience the good, bad, and ugly of dating again in your thirties and forties. Join them in The Jilted Wives Club.
When life gives you lemons, make a Lemontini…
Divorced and jobless at forty-something, Whitney never thought she’d be starting over. But here she is. Single and (not so) ready to mingle – with anyone except him.
Luca leads a charmed life. He’s got the perfect job, the support of a big Italian family, and a bevy of women eager to grant his mother’s wish for grandchildren… except the woman he really wants.
Now that Whitney’s Starter Wife days are over, Luca is determined to convince her to give him a shot.
Too bad the only shot Whitney’s sure of right now is the Lemontini.
Enjoy an exclusive excerpt from Starter Wife
Excerpt 1: Whitney
“I’m not interested in being a cougar. Hell, I can’t imagine getting naked with anyone let alone a much younger, gorgeous guy like Luca.”
“Luca, is that his name? Sexy,” Summer said, leaning over on her stool so she could look around me toward the door I’d seen him walk out of.
I was nodding absently in response when Margo snapped her fingers and snagged my attention.
“Hey,” she said, her tone sharp. “You are one sexy, gorgeous person yourself and young Mr. Luca would be lucky if you granted him the gift of your naked body. Don’t talk down about yourself and don’t sell yourself short by living your life with conditions, labels, or worrying about other people’s narrowminded opinions. I mean, as long as it’s not illegal, go for it … and, even then there can be some wiggle room.”
Summer was watching Margo with such admiration I thought she was going to stand up and cheer.
