Autumn Violets

Moira Ryan is a woman for who love has never seemed to work, she has bad luck with men and has seen too many broken relationships in the lives of those she loves. She is somewhat of a workaholic who has learned to control her work and her life with autonomy. She lives in the shadow of her beautiful and vivacious sister, Sloane, for whom everything seems to come easy and whose upcoming wedding is only making her feel worse about her lonely life.

Jack Wallace can't remember the last time he felt truly happy. After losing his mother as a teenager, he has treated women as an escape from the pressures of life and hasn't committed to one for more than a few dates in years. Now his father is dying of pancreatic cancer and his only wish for his son is to find someone to share his life with. Jack's life is full of stress as he tries for a promotion at work while simultaneously dealing with his fading father.

Their worlds collide one day as they run into each other and neither can deny the growing attraction between them.

The story follows these two as they deal with life, death, weddings and love. Not to mention Moira's boisterous Irish grandmother whose opinions are blunt and hilarious.

It's a story about relationships between parents and children, sisters and friends and most of all finding love when all odds are against it.
