When Aoife left Larkhaven she had big plans: to be a rich property investor, find mad passionate love and keep a yacht in Puerto Banus. Now she finds herself back home, living with her sister Berry, instead of over the hills and far away. Her job as a junior estate agent is going nowhere and boyfriend Dermot, although perfectly reliable, is hardly the grand passion of her life. Life is at an all-time low for Berry too. She is struggling to keep Surf Line (her internet-café-cum-laundrette) afloat, pay for the upkeep of the family home and leave a disastrous love affair where it belongs. Handsome in a dishevelled, troubled kind of way, it’s clear he doesn’t want their company. Could he be guarding a guilty secret? Meanwhile, their cousin Nathalie has troubles of her own. Taking her employers to court for negligence is nerve-racking enough – it doesn’t help when she falls in love with her barrister, a man far beyond her reach.
