The Brokenhearted
Seasoned astrologer Claudia Tornincasa can predict the future, but she can never forget her past. One of the lucky few to thrive in a world-class ski resort, she casts charts for the rich and famous from a home office with black diamond views. Best of all, she’s been married to her ruggedly handsome husband, Cooper, for twelve years. Her life is almost perfect. All that’s left to want is a home of her own. Well…that, and one other thing.
Three weeks before Christmas, when her mother has a stroke, Claudia is called home to Memphis. It’s been so long since she was there that Cooper didn’t even know her mother was still living. Claudia has good reason for staying away, but her mother isn’t the only skeleton in her closet. For the past few years, she’s felt an increasingly insatiable need to visit the grave of her first true love and say a long overdue goodbye. Then she can finally lay that part of her life to rest in peace. But she soon learns that to begin, she’ll have to find old friends who don’t want to be found, and get them to relive a past they want to keep buried. Claudia thought nothing could be worse than never knowing. Until she knew.
That she would willingly give up literally everything she had for just one more minute with the love who died a lifetime ago, was the one thing she could never have predicted.
