After thirty-five years in a loveless marriage, Fran is holding on to one certainty: I. DO. NOT. QUIT.

But when an argument with her husband ends in violence, she needs to consider if her years of loyalty were worth the cost. Six weeks housesitting in the Yorkshire Dales should give her time for reflection, where she can make her own decisions and pursue her own passions for once.

What she hasn't counted on is an injured hiker without a place to stay, who awakens desires that she'd forgotten were there. He's got his own share of problems, however, and has come to Yorkshire to work on his recovery. Could she be part of it?

There's a saint on one shoulder telling her to honour her marriage vows, and a devil on the other telling her to grab this opportunity—and something more tangible too—with both hands. But is it really the devil talking if he's telling her the truth?
