Nick is the most intriguing man Nella has met in a while. He's a 9 in the looks department (no one gets a 10), he makes her laugh, and he keeps her company when she ends up in A&E. But they live hundreds of miles apart.

Then Nella loses her job. There's a perfect role on offer at a Cotswolds holiday retreat. The catch is that her boss would be Nick. And that makes Nick the one man she can't risk falling in love with.

Meanwhile a Hollywood star has found a haven at the retreat. Lizzie's sworn off people - especially men - until her friendly new neighbours entice her out of her shell. Maybe she needs a flirtation - with gorgeous Nick, perhaps? Not with taciturn local Matthew, though, who definitely isn't a member of her fan club.

Nancy is very disappointed when she realises that her husband has bought her a red lawn mower for Christmas - so who got the diamonds she was expecting? Nancy's friend, Carmen, is not surprised, and persuades her to move to London. Once there she meets connor, but can he ever be her type?

One minute Lou is happily employed, with a perfect flat. The next, her home and job have gone. Suddenly she has to start over.

The last thing Lou wants is to move to a tiny Cotswolds village. She certainly doesn't intend to work for curmudgeonly eighty-year-old Edgar Allsopp. But Edgar is about to make her the kind of promise nobody could ignore. In return, she secretly vows to help him fall in love with life again.

Foxwell is also home to Remy, whose charm and charisma are proving hard to ignore. But Lou hasn't recovered from the last time she fell for a charmer. She needs a distraction - and luckily one's about to turn up.

Secrets never stay hidden for long in Foxwell, nor are promises always kept. And no one could guess what lies ahead . . .

Organising a wedding at the country house hotel owned by her father should have been routine for Daisy MacLean. Things start to become complicated when she realises that her friend, Tara, used to know the groom rather well, whilst Daisy finds herself having running battles with the best man!

It's set to be the perfect wedding - till the chauffeur is asked to keep driving the bride round the church.

Lottie is a guest at the wedding when she sees Max for the first time in fifteen years. No kiss since has matched their last kiss together. They were on the brink of a beautiful love story. Then something shocking happened that tore them apart. Now here he is, handsome as ever, teasing Lottie in the old way. But Max is out of bounds.

Ruby has been the perfect vicar's wife. But when she finds out the truth about her husband, outrage and disbelief drive her to act impulsively, and nothing will ever be the same again.

There will be a wedding of the year - but maybe not yet. When love is in the air, anything can happen…
