Three women. One life-changing secret. Will honesty bind them together or tear them apart?

Single mother Charlie can barely pay the rent, never mind give her son the chances he deserves. Desperate to escape mounting debt, she enters into a surrogacy deal with a stranger. It will solve all her problems, won’t it?

High-flying Suzie is used to getting what she wants. Yet her biggest dream of being a mother is beyond her grasp. So when a chance for happiness comes her way in the shape of Charlie, why shouldn’t she take it?

Meanwhile, Dawn, Suzie’s steadfast university friend, is discovering that finding her mojo is about as hard as finding a good-fitting bra. What has happened to her sex life? Is finding the missing lid of a Tupperware box the biggest thrill she can expect? She thinks not.

As Charlie’s pregnancy progresses, the women’s lives grow increasingly intertwined, revealing old betrayals and hidden connections. At a pivotal celebration, long-held secrets threaten their fragile unity—but also offer the possibility of forgiveness and fresh starts.

Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes and Marian Keyes, this is a powerful story of friendship, motherhood, and second chances.

Katie and Tom's marriage is in trouble. So is their bank account.

So, when Tom blindsides her by saying that his boss is sending him to Australia – permanently – Katie realises it might just be what they need to save their marriage.

Trouble is, she doesn't like the heat, can't swim and hates spiders.

Thrown into Sydney’s sun, surf and school-gate politics, Katie finds unexpected friendship in glamorous, wealthy Naomi and bohemian Ann. But as the wine flows and the secrets pile up – money lies, marriages on the brink, dangerous crushes and one unforgivable betrayal – the gloss on their new lives starts to peel away.

When a holiday meant to fix everything blows her world apart, Katie has to decide what “home” really means – and whether some vows are worth fighting for or finally letting go.

A must-read for fans of Liane Moriarty and Marian Keyes who love twisty domestic drama, flawed characters and sharply observed humour.

Please note: this title was originally published as 'The Chance of a Lifetime.'

Kendra Smith has been a journalist, wife, mother, aerobics teacher, qualified diver and very bad cake baker. She started her career in Sydney selling advertising space but quickly made the leap to editorial and went on to work on several women’s magazines in both Sydney and London.
