When Polly Park meets Spike, the fact that he's emigrating to Australia in six months' time is not a problem-no commitment or messy endings. But she doesn't bank on falling in love or on making a certain discovery after he's gone. Three years on, Polly is a single mum to her gorgeous daughter Rowan, she's dating the lovely Max, and she might finally be ready to take a chance on love. Then, out of the blue, Spike returns with his glamorous girlfriend in tow, and suddenly, Polly finds herself in the middle of a very sticky situation... Will Spike's return resurrect Polly's feelings for him? Where does that leave Max and Polly? And how will all this change affect Rowan? Nothing is simple-but then, that's the trouble with love...
