Of course she is. Stranded together in a remote Cotswold pub, with a snowstorm raging outside--let's face it, who would ever know? But Nadia's already met The One. She and Laurie have been together for years--they're practically childhood sweethearts, and she still gets goosebumps at the sight of him. Okay, maybe she doesn't see that much of him these days, but that's not Laurie's fault. She can't betray him. Besides, when you belong to a family like the Kinsellas--bewitchingly glamorous grandmother Miriam, feckless mother Leonie, stop-at-nothing sister Clare--well, someone has to exercise a bit of self-control, don't they? I mean, you wouldn't want to do something that you might later regret.

Soon Nancy's met gorgeous Connor O'Shea, who lives next door, and his daughter Mia is matchmaking - not least because she'd like to see the back of Connor's current pushy girlfriend.
