The Lovesong Encore Series

At sixty-three with a failed marriage, a dead-end job, and a solid belief that all men leave their women, Jessamine Jo Woodley (Jessie) is feeling the loss of her one cheerleader in life, Auntie J, who has just passed away—leaving her a healthy trust and a cabin in the charming town of Woodcreek, Colorado. However, Auntie J stipulates that Jessie must complete a mysterious series of tasks before collecting . . . all proctored by a handsome lawyer, Finnegan Cooper Conrad.

Sixty-four-year-old Eisel Jane McCord's world is going along just fine until her husband of forty-three years, Jimmy, announces without warning that he's joining an archaeological dig in Peru—solo. Well, she decides, if he can make life-altering decisions and live so easily without her, she can do the same! She dusts off her teenage bucket list and realizes that she still hadn't checked off "buying a house" and "experiencing a great romance," since she'd done the one in tandem and, well, marriage hadn't produced the other.
