Miranda
Shane lives a quiet life among books and letters as a professor in a
small upstate town. When the playing-by-the-rules poet throws out
convention and begins to use a Scrabble board instead of paper to
write, she sets off a chain of events that rattles her carefully
planned world.
Her
awakening propels her to take risks and seize chances she previously
let slip by, including a game-changing offer from the man she let
slip away. But when the revelation of an affair with a graduate
student threatens the new life Miranda created, she is forced to
decide between love or poetry.

Excerpt:
Miranda
played mystery on a double word score with a blank tile. “Bingo,”
she chorused. “Fifty points.” She hopped up to do a victory
dance. As she did, her foot clipped the table, and the tile bag
toppled over.
They
both bent to pick them up. He smelled like Old Spice, the way her
father did before the chemo made her mom’s nose too sensitive.
“You,” Miranda started to say, to ask or to explain why she
couldn’t stop staring at him.
“You,”
he said in reply.
Then he
leaned in closer and pressed his lips against hers. His eyelashes
stirred against her cheeks as he closed his eyes. She leaned in
closer. And neither one moved to stop. For a very long moment, lips
slightly parted, they breathed in the same air, as they hovered in
the sweet spot right after a kiss.
Then his
phone went off, startling them both.
He
snapped backwards and patted down his pockets for the source of the
interruption. He stared at the number. “I think I have to take
this,” he said. “Some kind of hospital.”
