Forever friends - Sarah Mackenzie

Perfect for fans of Susan Mallery and Jill Shalvis, two mothers - one pregnant, one sending her child to college - form an unlikely friendship, finding love, hope, and a new start at life in this charming, laugh-out-loud read.

Single mum Renee Rhodes seems like a woman who has it all together. But now that her daughter is away at college, she doesn't know what to do next. What she is sure of is that she probably shouldn't be crushing on her new boss, who couldn't possibly be interested in a middle-aged mum....

Sadie Landry is drowning in the stay-at-home mum life. With a toddler running wild, a husband who is growing more distant by the day, and a mother-in-law who has a comment on every-little-thing, Sadie is one mummy-and-me class away from losing it. Sadie knows that something has to change for the sake of her family - and her sanity.

After a birthday party disaster, Renee comes to her neighbour Sadie's rescue with comfort, competence and a killer pie recipe. With their unlikely friendship and a newly hatched plan to open a bakery, can Sadie and Renee finally have the lives they've always dreamed of?
