At 35, she's pursuing her dreams of being a singer and being a mother—though neither are successfully panning out. So when Garrett Scholl—stifled hedge-fund manager by day but electrifying aspiring rock singer by night—comes to her 35th birthday party with the intention to kiss Maggie senseless, it feels like one piece might click into place. But he's engaged to someone else, and Maggie knows she won't fit into the cookie-cutter life he's building for himself. Enter Asher Reyes.

When a career-changing opportunity is presented to Maggie after her reconnection with Asher, it feels like everything—music, love, family—will fall into place. But her past won't let her move on without a fight.
