Blurb:
Meet Amantha Adams. She despises her name, women’s shapewear, and her ex. After a decade of crusty minivans, mom buns, and PTA meetings for her son, Amantha has faded into a washed-up, unrecognizable version of herself. When her life gets turned upside down, she is forced to confront her identity crisis head-on, but she doesn’t have the faintest clue where to begin.
She starts by retracing her steps and returning to the beloved museum where she used to work. What she doesn’t expect to find is a fresh batch of mom guilt, an insufferably hot coworker who loathes her, and mysterious criminal activity that she has no choice but to investigate (with the help of the aforementioned sexy coworker, of course).
If she fails, Amantha risks losing more than just her job. Can Amantha withstand the pressures of motherhood, her new career, and find herself in the process? Or will she lose her son, her passion, and possibly the love of her life?
