___________

There are millions of people who would love to start over. Pete Smith isn't one of them.

Between the divorce, the debt, and the dying travel business, no one seems to need him anymore. So, when his 23-year-old daughter moves back home, Pete's thrilled, even if it means Susie's bothersome boyfriend, Niall, comes to stay as well.

But when Susie flies the nest for good, Pete finds himself stuck with a flatmate he never signed up for...

One day he'll get around to fixing the lock on the bathroom door, figuring out what to do with his failing business, evicting his daughter's boyfriend from his house, and maybe even getting over his ex-wife.

But it turns out there are some things you can't put off until later – and some people who won't let you.
