Ava relishes the freedom of being single. Sarah fears no one can replace her hero husband. Beatrice finds it hard to shine, next to her dazzling friends. And Lydia is married, rich, privileged: so isn't she one of the lucky ones? Then a chance encounter changes everything. Angry, damaged and dangerously attractive, Edgar Trent is an irresistable temptation. And the old rules no longer apply...
