Ballet dancer Jessica Stone has just landed her dream role in New York. At thirty-one this is her last chance to be a prima ballerina.

To celebrate, Jessica flies to England to surprise her parents before her rigorous training begins. But instead, when she gets home, she finds her whole family with their cases packed — they are going on holiday, without her!

Now she’s stuck in Surrey taking care of Monty the dog. At least he hasn’t abandoned her. But out on a walk his lead gets caught around Jessica and she falls, badly hurting her foot.

Luckily a handsome stranger comes to her rescue. Except he’s no stranger. He recognises Jessica immediately but it takes a moment for her to recognise this gorgeous man. It’s Nathan Townsend, an old friend she hasn’t seen for twenty years.

The chemistry between them is instant.

But Jessica knows this can’t happen, she’s going back to the States as soon as her foot heals. And Nathan has just worked through one heartbreak. He can’t face another.

But maybe, just maybe, some things are meant to be?
