The London Affair — Susan Lute

Stella Carmichael never expected her marriage -- flawed but familiar -- to suddenly unravel. With her world upended and her home achingly quiet, she's ready to retreat from life altogether.

But her daughters have other plans.

Banished to London under the guise of "help," Stella finds herself thousands of miles from everything she knows, tasked with the care of her defiant teenage granddaughter. What begins as an unwanted exile slowly transforms into something else entirely.

As Stella navigates generational rifts, new friendships, and a surprising flirtation, she begins to see the beauty in second chances. In the heart of an unfamiliar city, she discovers that family -- however fractured -- is a gift, and life, no matter how unexpected, is worth embracing.
