Harriet Swift has her life organised just the way she wants it: a satisfying career, her own immaculate flat, and a new boyfriend. But her well-ordered world is turned upside down when her only sister is killed in a car crash. Harriet has never been the maternal type, but with an orphaned nephew and niece to look after, she has no choice but to leave her old life behind.

Divorced Will Hart also thinks he has the perfect life. A firm believer in living for the moment, he has a terrific relationship with his teenage daughters and has happily swapped a career as a lawyer for that of an antiques dealer. Then a startling revelation causes Will's life to unravel ...

Both Harriet and Will have no choice but to piece together a new future for themselves — but will they be able to see it through?
