Kate Finlay is coping - just. She wouldn't trade her precocious daughter Emmi for a million pounds, but as a single mum, holding down a job and paying the bills
is hard work. If only her glamorous, fun-loving nanny Paloma were better at housework - if only she had a few more hours in the day.

When her boss Dick Anthony - tall, lithe, lean and loaded - starts showing an interest in her, Kate's tempted to reciprocate. But then she meets reckless jack-of-all-trades Tom Llewellyn, who attracts her despite her best intentions.
So when Emmi's father Harry Barrett comes back into her life - a changed man - Kate's more than just a little bit confused.

Is love finally in the air, or is she going to make the same mistake again? The one that made her a single mother in the first place . . .
