Anna has risked everything to buy and renovate a beautiful cottage.
The outside is perfect, but inside all is chaos: with a ladder for a staircase, no downstairs flooring, candles the only form of lighting and a sleeping bag and camping mat for a bed, Anna's soon wondering whether she's bitten off more than she can chew.
Her neighbour Chloe comes to the rescue, providing tea, wine and sympathy. But just as Anna's starting to believe she's found the perfect idyll, good-looking but impossible Rob Hunter arrives on the scene, putting up more obstacles than the Grand National.
Can Anna have it all? A dream house and the perfect man?
