Gillian Griffiths is flummoxed about what to do after she is unexpectedly fired from her job of more than twenty years. While trying to repair her professional life, she steps way out of her comfort zone and signs onto an online dating service as one way to accomplish a do-over. To her amazement, she encounters more men than she'd ever expected. But she insists that any mid-life romantic encounter must include world class sparks, and thus far—even with Mo, a local doctor who is smitten with her—no sparks ignite. That is, until she seeks help from attorney Matt Gordon to set up a trust for her as yet-unborn grandchildren.
But Matt is married and caring for a tragically ill wife. Sparks or not, Gillian respects his dedication to his wife and doesn't follow up on her feelings toward him. She feels deeply for his loss when his wife dies and can't help wondering … will he act on the sparks he might feel in Gillian's presence or will grief and guilt overwhelm him?
When Matt mistakes Gillian's sympathy hug for something he craves, his guilt overwhelms and he pushes her away, but then realizes he wants a do-over. How can he convince Gillian he really does care for her, or has he killed his chance of finding a new love?
