About this ebook

New Series!
Fall in love with The Late Bloomers, a series about five 40-something women who each choose adventure, travel, and love when they reach a crossroads in life. These seasoned women are ready to take on the world, starting with Book 1: Wild Rose.

About the Book:
Rose Quinn is having a very bad summer. First her 19-year-old daughter left home to backpack across Europe instead of going to college. Then a woman she loved like a mother died of a heart attack, making her feel like an orphan all over again. And in just a few weeks her best friend will be moving to New York City. For a single mother who’s always had someone else to take care of, Rose is finally wondering how to take care of herself.

Handsome Mateo Romero is a transplanted Spaniard running a restaurant on Lake Como in Italy. A broken heart got him there, but he’s made a success of it just like he did his architecture business back in Madrid. One thing he hasn’t been successful with is love.

When Mateo hires Rose’s daughter for a summer job and gives her a free place to stay, Rose immediately suspects the worst. She won’t let her daughter make the same mistake she did at that age, so Rose flies to Italy to confront Mateo. What Rose finds instead is a secret she didn’t suspect and a challenge to everything she’s ever thought about love and the illusion of control.

Rose’s daughter doesn’t need saving, but can Rose save herself?

Betsy Talbot

Betsy is a 40-something writer and wanderer. When she’s not out hiking somewhere around the world with her husband Warren (a man of ridiculously good hair and hearty laugh), you can find her writing romance books for women over forty, reading books of every type, asking inappropriate questions, and drinking wine in an old house in an even older village in the hills of sunny Spain. Betsy is the host of the Quickie Romance Podcast, where she gets steamy with imaginary characters for your listening pleasure every single week. She also co-hosts The Married with Luggage Podcast with her husband Warren. This woman has no shame. She loves cava, sunshine, unconventional thinkers, and schedule-free days. She is an introvert, a feminist, and a loud laugher. Her latest obsession is flamenco dancing. Find out more about how (and why) she became a world traveler at 40 Find out how she got rid of everything she owned in 2010
