'Perfect escapism for the Heat-reading generation' Irish Independent

Fast-paced escapism which does what it promises - transports readers out of their daily lives' Woman's Way

After a series of hopeless relationships, Kate O'Neill is ready to settle down, so when her New Age hippie boyfriend Brian finally asks her to marry him, she accepts. He might not be perfect but he's there, right?

Except that Kate's eccentric actress mother, Grace, is determined to prevent Kate from making the biggest mistake of her life and so hatches a plot to scupper the engagement, enlisting the help of family friend Will Sargent, the cool and aloof manager of mega cool rock-band Walking Wounded, and unrequited love of Kate's life ...

Reluctantly enlisted, Will offers Kate a job cooking for Walking Wounded while they are holed up in Tuscany working on their new album.


As temperatures in the kitchen begin to heat up, will Kate realise her feelings for Will are stronger than ever, or does Grace's plan backfire and send Kate straight back to Brian?
