Carrie Dashwood fled Dorset ten years ago when her best friend Megan stole her love, local heart-throb Tom. Now she's back to help run her aunt Ruby's flower stall in idyllic Shipley. Trying to persuade herself that her feelings for Tom are in the past, Carrie plans to avoid him and Megan completely. But it's not to be, because Ruby's Blooms are arranging the flowers for Megan and Tom's wedding. Soon Carrie's crawling under the stall to hide and accidentally inventing an imaginary boyfriend... But with the stall's finances in jeopardy and Ruby needing her niece more than ever, Carrie has to keep her emotions in check. With bouquets to arrange, family secrets to uncover, and Tom unavoidably a part of her life again, can Carrie keep her cool, save the stall, and find her very own happy ever after?
