Meetings, Merlot and Midlife: The Contract

At forty-five, Melody Shay thought she had life figured out—steady job, predictable chaos, and just enough Merlot to survive both. But when she lands a new contract, Melody's perfectly balanced world starts to wobble.

Between boardroom politics, late-night deadlines and the seductive pull of rediscovered dreams, she begins to question everything—her work, her marriage, even her purpose. When an invitation to The Ladies Supper Club lands in her inbox, Melody is drawn into a circle of women who remind her that reinvention doesn't come from youth—it comes from courage.

Meetings, Merlot and Midlife: The Contract is a sharply funny, honest and heart-stirring exploration of modern womanhood, ambition and the bittersweet beauty of starting over.
