The Life of Reilly

Author(s): Paul Burke

General Fiction

What do you do when you meet Miss Right ten years too late? Sean Reilly seems to have his life sorted: gorgeous wife, beautiful house and lucrative career as a voice-over artist. But he craves the sort of romance and affection that he no longer receives from his wife. Why is it, he wonders, that once married, women want men to change and hate it when they don't? Whereas men never want women to change and hate it when they do. Lucy Ross, 'caught single' after breaking up with her long-term boyfriend, is also looking for romance when she meets Sean. She doesn't want him to change, she wants him the way he is, so could the life of Reilly be sorted after all? Another sassy romantic comedy from the best-selling author of The Man Who Fell in Love with His Wife about a man who falls out of love with his.
