Anything Can Happen

Ellen Evans is well over... well, let us say she is a woman in her prime and beautiful as a goddess.

She has lived with her faithful and beloved husband, Sam, for over thirty years. Ellen has had everything successful in her life and seems to have nothing more to wish for. She and her husband have raised children, developed a successful business, and built a beautiful lakeside home.

Ellen has best friends, Lori, and Betty, with whom she shares the beautiful moments, and challenges of her life, and helps them in any way she can if needed.

Benjamin Collins, or Ben to his friends, is a successful lawyer, recently widowed. With the approval of his grown children, he moves into a small cottage near the lake. Ben does not know that fate will bring him back together with his first love, Ellen, and takes his time arranging his life in the new place.

When they meet by chance, a spark flares between them, if not passion, but for starters, the former warmth and friendship. Both need someone to warm them in a tough time. Yes, Ellen also has a lot of problems. Her life is falling apart like a house of cards, and she just needs the support of not only her friends but also the man she loves. Preferably, some new loved one.

But is it possible to return happiness? Many decades have passed since their separation... What awaits Ellen and Ben, will they overcome the obstacles that life throws to them, as if on purpose, over and over again?

The Sunset Lake Club series of novels will show us that so much is possible in the second half of our lives. We will discover some secrets of these women. We will see how women create and maintain friendships. We will follow love stories with such tropes as enemies-to-lovers, second chances at love, opposites attract, friends-to-lovers, and more. And of course, we hope to see a happy ending to these stories.
