Newly single, Tilly Cole quits her London job for a fresh start in the small town of Roxborough - and soon finds she's arrived in a hotbed of gossip, intrigue and rivalry for the most desirable men. Tilly has no intention of joining in - she's just happy to be working for Max Dineen (so many women's idea of a perfect partner). But she hasn't counted on her reaction to Jack Lucas. He is irresistible... and he's got his eye on Tilly. Then she hears rumours about his wicked reputation. She doesn't want to be just another notch on anyone's bedpost. But is she being mature and sensible - or is she running away from the love of her life?
