Old Wives say 'comfort is its own reward'. Darla Garber thinks those venerable women may be confused, because lately, the only reward comfort produces in her twenty-year marriage is stale and sporadic sex. Although her veterinarian husband, Cole, remains her best friend, time and familiarity have rusted their cycles of lovemaking. It used to be that they dreamed of having the house to themselves again--of having sex in the kitchen if they felt like it--but they just don't generate that kind of undeniable heat any more.

     Now, with the kids nearly grown, can a wife who still adores her husband find the forgotten physical spark? Fearing they may be doomed to sex-out-of-habit for the rest of their lives, Darla isn't so sure. But when her girlfriends prescribe a change of pace as just what a gorgeous animal doctor needs, Darla sets out to discover whether or not a little concerted effort can set a comfortable marriage into motion, and rekindle the passion one old wife desires.
