'Total dedication can be a killer.

'Mia Morgan, homewares queen, is given the choice. Take a break and regroup or the board will terminate her employment. With little choice and less enthusiasm, she heads to Hope Island to stay at the Bed and Breakfast the managing director booked for her.

'Matt Hope loves to mother people. It's what he does best and where his talents shine. Nobody can channel Martha Stewart quite like Matt can. But Mia isn't an easy client. She's angry about her enforced stay, annoyed that for the next four weeks, she has to find something other than work to keep her occupied. Before long, Matt’s easy going nature starts to wear off on her and she begins to enjoy herself.

'Just when things start looking good, Mia’s world is thrown into chaos and everything goes wrong, pulling the young lovers apart.

'Can Matt convince her that they deserve another chance or will her steely determination keep them at arms length?'
