Hattie is a happy single mother to son Seffy, has a flourishing French antiques business with best friend Maggie and has a relatively young boyfriend, Ivan, to boot. But when her sister, Laura, asks Hattie and Maggie to help work on her and her husband Hugh’s house, it brings back painful memories for Hattie as that’s where her first love Dominic lived. Matters are made worse when Hattie bumps into his widow Letty and handsome brother Hal.

When we first posted about Lucy Dawson’s third novel it was originally titled What Every Woman Wants and the main characters were called Kirsty and Joe. As the cover was released, you can see that the title is now The One That Got Away and as you can see from the synopsis below, the main characters have different names. The One That Got Away is due out on October 14th and I can’t wait after enjoying Lucy’s debut novel. I really like the cover, too, although it is different to her previous two! Here’s the synopsis:

Molly Greene is having trouble packing up her old life to embrace the new challenges and grown up adventures that are waiting in the wings for her and husband Dan. She loves him, but with life as she knows it about to change forever, she just can’t quite seem to make the final jump. Then, just as she’s teetering on the brink of the biggest decision of her life, she stupidly sends an impulsive message to the very last person she ought to have contacted, someone who should have stayed forgotten, and is now coming looking for her. And when he finds her, when old and new collide, there is no more turning back. One night is all it takes to threaten everything she holds dear - for good. Would you risk your future for a night with your past?
