When Henrietta Tate lost her first love, Rupert, she fell into the comforting arms of her boss, Marcus. Now married to him and with two children, Henny has always believed the family comes first and is delighted to stay home and prove it. But all too soon Lily and Angus are away at school and home life becomes a little less than stimulating. Popping to London to act as PA to a famous TV historian sounds ideal. Until the effects of a slap-up lunch with her disreputably handsome new employer and one too many gin and tonics lead her husband to all the wrong conclusions. He should know she's not that kind of girl. But Marcus's pride and Henny's indignant fury don't make explanations easy. And as if things weren't complicated enough, Rupert reappears...
