"Rebecca is happily married and content with her job in a London art gallery. But when tragedy strikes and her life comes crashing down around her, she flees to her childhood home in the country, hoping time will help her heal.
Born in the same country town, Joe had a falling out with Rebecca and hasn’t seen or spoke to her in a decade. Now he’s the successful owner of a wine bar, and is breaking local hearts.

Will she ever be able to forgive, forget and move on?"

When her love life crashed down around her, Edie turned to work for solace. But things go downhill with the departure of her work wife, Ruby, and the arrival of new guy Cameron – a chauvinist, a womaniser and the very opposite of a team player. But is Cameron the bad guy he seems to be?

Or will they? When the Willows are offered the opportunity for Patience to take part in a new gene therapy trial to cure her Rett syndrome, they face an impossible dilemma. Are the very real risks worth the chance of the reward, no matter how small?
