Perfectly Impossible by Joan O'neill
Is the perfect man an impossible dream? Cara Thompson's marriage has never been perfect. When husband Andy loses his job, things quickly become a whole lot worse. In order to give him some space to find himself, Cara throws herself heart and soul into her own career. Yet life is plainly far from ideal and although friends Vanessa and Suzanne try to be supportive, both have man problems of their own. Then Guy Mclntosh strolls into Cara's life...He could be the best thing that has ever happened to her. He could also be that one complication too many just at the moment. Will Cara give Andy another chance in the hope that his soul-searching has turned up something useful? Or should she grab the opportunity of happiness with a handsome stranger with both hands?
