She's old enough to know better. But the one thing she can't resist is temptation.Lauren's son has just left home. Her neighbours have moved out. Her nest is empty, her life is lonely, her garden's a mess - and so is she.Resolving to make a fresh start, she has no idea that her summer is about to get a lot more interesting. Interesting in the form of a good-looking young gardener. Interesting in the form of a new neighbour with a small, inquisitive child and a big, smelly dog.

And interesting in the form of his beautiful but highly toxic wife.Throw in her incorrigible friends and a predatory alpha mum and before long the quiet, empty months Lauren's been dreading have become busier and more complicated than she could ever have dreamt.
