Dermot Davis

Fast approaching 40 and after two failed marriages, Frances has sworn off men. Still mending her broken heart from her most recent divorce, she has come to rely on her therapist as if she was her best friend. Even though she knows that she is not happy with her life, she has no idea how to fix it. Approached by a younger man, she decides to go along for the ride. The reawakening of her heart soon turns her cozy world upside down. Does she have it within her heart to take another chance on love? Thoughtful and thought-provoking contemporary fiction for those who like to read more challenging material than regular Chick-lit. "With brilliant writing skills, the reader is entranced from page one. THE YOUNGER MAN, both compelling and heart-warming, is definitely worthy of 5 stars." - AUTHOR ALLIANCE "...this well written book is first and foremost a journey of self discovery for the main character, Frances... Only gifted authors like Dermot Davis have the ability to pen such a flawed character and make the reader still care and want the best for her." - KINDLE BOOK REVIEW "If you want flimsy and inconsequential this is NOT the book for you. If you like romance with something between the ears - then don't hesitate - pick up The Younger Man, today!" - BOOK ADDICT Companion Book to ZEN AND SEX and prequel to LOVE FOR FRANCES

It's the classic dilemma of the writer: Do you write what's in your heart or do you write what sells? In this modern age of publishing there is a huge chasm between the best selling authors that are rich beyond their dreams and... well, everybody else. All Daniel Waterstone ever wanted to do was write the great American novel and change the landscape of modern literature forever. He has two literary books in print but no one's buying. His agent won't even accept his latest masterpiece which he poured his soul into: apparently, it's not commercial enough. In a final act of desperation, Daniel decides to write - not what's in his heart but - what he thinks will sell. Boy, did he get that one wrong... worst of all, most likely lose the woman of his dreams.
