Synopsis:

DARING DECISIONS At fifty-seven, Lotti Seidel is a successful court-qualified handwriting expert. Her career is everything she dreamed of but her love life is in shambles. Craving intimacy she gets involved with unsuitable men and all of her relationships go down in flames. She’s in denial that she still loves her ex-husband, Joe, whom she divorced when she found out he had been cheating on her with other men. During the following years she discovers that she has paranormal abilities. Joe LeBoutillier is a former physician in the Canadian military. After his divorce from Lotti, he enters into a relationship with a gay man. He never stops loving his ex-wife and wishes there was a way for the three of them to be together. Family events force Lotti to meet Joe again and their feelings for each other become impossible to ignore. Lotti and Joe are still deeply connected, and his husband, Michel, is more than willing to share. When Joe almost dies in an accident, Lotti finally admits just how much she still loves him. Now she must choose between the conventional life she always thought she wanted and a polyamorous relationship that has the potential to break her heart—or heal it.
