A hilarious and heartwarming read perfect for fans of Judy Leigh, Caroline James, and Maddie Please!

As Margaret Adams buries her late husband, she comes to a shocking realisation – she was widowed long before Bob dropped dead on the ninth hole at his beloved golf club.

Now, with her children grown and her unhappy marriage over, Maggie goes in search of something to make her happy. Enter Las Vegas bowling alley, Cactus Lanes!

With its neon sign, legendary chilli fries, and community spirit, stepping through the doors does more than put a smile on Maggie’s face, it changes her life.

As she discovers the friendships she’s always craved – and a chance at a true love with gorgeous owner Frank Martinez – Maggie comes to realise that it’s not about winning or losing, it’s about choosing your lane and striking with determination in the direction that allows you to be you.

Readers are loving Misbehaving at Cactus Lanes:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I love books that celebrate women, female friendships, and the power of being together.'

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I enjoyed this page turner that has characters that you can relate to.'

⭐⭐⭐⭐ ’This is a story of how life really can begin in your 70s. It took for her husband to suddenly die, for Maggie to be freed from what was a stifling, boring, loveless marriage, not abusive, just indifferent, and for her to start discovering what it is she really wants from life.'
