One Step Ahead

Madison Wolf is devastated when, on the first night of their round-the-world trip, her husband, Becker, tells her their marriage is over. Storming off in shock and disbelief after his revelation, Maddie makes her way out into the dark London streets alone and doesn’t look back. Gathering every ounce of her courage, she continues the trip as planned, determined to take advantage of this long-awaited vacation. Soon she finds something new blossoming within her, a spontaneous sense of adventure hidden for too long by the constraints of her marriage. As Maddie travels to Paris, Amsterdam, Munich, and beyond, she discovers a variety of pleasurable surprises along the way, such as Thierry, the charming Frenchman who shows her the secrets of the City of Light. But she hasn’t seen the last of Becker. When he catches a glimpse of Maddie with another man, it sets off a chain of events—at times healing and heartbreaking—that will turn this round-the-world trip into something else entirely. By the time Maddie arrives in Bangkok, both she and Becker are transformed in ways they never expected.
