Skipping a Beat by Sarah Pekkanen

What would you do if your husband suddenly wanted to reqrite all of the rules of your relationship?

A poignant, witty novel about marriage, forgiveness and the meaning of unconditional love.

Julia and Michael meet in high school in their small hometown. Shortly after graduation they flee their old life to start afresh. Now in their thirties, they are living the dream life in their multi-million dollar home. Julia has become a highly sought-after events manager while Michael has launched a successful flavoured water company.

One day Michael stands up at the head of the table in his company's boardroom -- then silently crashes to the floor. More than four minutes later, a portable defibrillator manages to jump-start his heart and when he wakes, Michael makes a decision that turns Julia's world upside down. Should she walk away from the man she once adored or should she give in to her husband's pleas for a second chance and a promise of a poorer but happier life?
