When your marriage ends, why not make it content?

Sibley Bloom thought her life had officially hit rock bottom when she discovered her husband’s affair—ending fifteen years of marriage and most of her faith in men. But her colleagues at The Positive Enlightenment Journal, a metaphysically minded magazine, have other ideas. To “support her healing journey,” they convince her to document her life as a newly single woman—one holiday blind date at a time.

From Halloween through Valentine’s Day, Sibley is thrown into a whirlwind of themed dates that take her from the beaches of Florida to the cobblestone streets of Europe, all under the watchful lens of photojournalist Asher Starling. What she doesn’t know is that her boss, Reed, has his own secret agenda for the feature series—and it might just change the story completely.

As if juggling public heartbreak and private feelings weren’t enough, Sibley’s best friend, Vidalia Oliveira, moves in to escape an ex-boyfriend who may—or may not—be tied to the mysterious death of a local music teacher. Between bad dates, good friends, and one very intriguing photographer, Sibley finds herself on a journey that’s part romantic comedy, part cozy mystery, and entirely about rediscovering her own spark.
