Flora Parker is sassy and stylish with a mouth as big as Wembley Stadium and a tendency to act before she thinks, which is how she ends up getting drunk and on the front of a newspaper in her Wonderbra and not much else. Filled with self-loathing she retreats to her aunt's house in the country to look for a little meaning in her life. Instead she finds an overbearing uncle, a farm on the brink of bankruptcy, a child who won't come out of the airing cupboard and a precocious 10-year-old who lists all Flo's faults. As if she didn't already know them. But, being Flo, instead of running away she itches to put it all right...especially when the farmer next door announces an intriguing bet: he will give his farm and glorious farmhouse to whichever of his handsome nephews finds a wife by Michaelmas. So Flo takes up matchmaking full-time, ignoring the fact that it might be she who is the object of their affections. Meanwhile she finds she's falling in love herself...with a way of life that is muddy, smelly and under threat. But is she prepared to put her head on the altar to keep it
Amanda Wells made a big mistake in her first marriage. She fell for charm and charisma - but what she got in Giles was selfishness and faithlessness. When he left her for a younger woman, Amanda swore she'd never make the same mistake again. Her next attempt at a relationship would be with a thoughtful, caring kind of man. The type who would be good husband material...So, when she backs into a shiny new BMW sports car belonging to the charming Angus Day in Tesco's car park, she not only blames him for the accident but distrusts him on principle. Worse than that, she discovers the reason Angus can afford his BMW is that he's a property developer. All the same, there's something about him and she very nearly succumbs one New Year's Eve when the moon is full and the bottle's empty - but fortunately at this point she meets Luke. Luke is everything Angus isn't - honourable, unselfish, nice to old ladies and he can even dance a sexy tango. But is Luke as honourable as he seems...and is Angus as dishonourable?...
