Maddy Tyler, a sophisticated art gallery owner is driven, overworked and cynical about love. When a sudden crisis makes her re-evaluate her life, she impulsively buys a weekend retreat in the country.

Fraser O'Neill, her rural neighbour, is an easy-going widower of simple tastes and quite definitely not Maddy’s ‘type’. Still, a comfortable weekend affair is another story … and Maddy of course will be in control. But nothing is ever that simple and Maddy is forced to face the demons of her past and make a heartbreaking choice that will rock everything she thought certain.
