  Sadie Keith doesn't have it all, but she's proud of what she's got: two gorgeous children, a challenging career as a magic operative (that's a clown to you and me) and a cleavage that has, so far, pluckily resisted the forces of age, twin babies and gravity. When Sadie goes to bed (alone) she dreams about two things -- a night of passion before she forgets what it feels like, and making enough money to hang up her red nose for good. So when she sees a dilapidated house on the market, Sadie has a brainwave. Why not buy the property, do it up and sell it on? If the people on the telly can do it, so can she. All she needs is a builder. With his tight jeans, tanned torso and and tools at the ready, Gareth Bryant seems the perfect choice. What's more, he's wild about Sadie. But as the money runs out, the rain runs in and the kids run riot, Sadie wonders if she's fallen for the wrong kind of cowboy.

  Meet Sadie Keith: 39 years-young, single mum of twins, and self-employed magic operative (she doesn't like to say 'clown'). Sadie dreams about the usual things - a miracle cure for cellulite, a night of passion before she forgets how to do it, but mostly making enough money for her family so that she can hang up her red nose and curly wig for good. So when she sees a dilapidated house for sale in a desirable area, Sadie lights on an idea. Why not buy the property, do it up and sell it on? She and the kids could live in it to save money. And at the end of it, she'd have a new, respectable career. With a loan from her best friend's husband, Sadie's soon in business - all she needs now is a builder she can trust. Enter Gareth: sexy, single and, to her amazement, soppy about Sadie (she thought she'd long lost that 'Wow Factor'). But, as the money runs out, the kids run riot and the rain runs in through the hole in the roof, Sadie wonders if she's fallen for the wrong kind of cowboy...
