She’s heard all the lines. Now it’s time for the truth!

Charlie has to keep pinching herself to believe she’s leaving Australia for a trip to Europe — a generous gift from her family, who know how tough her life has been lately. But the last person Charlie expects to bump into on the plane is Jasper Ash, international celebrity, rock-star sex-god — and Charlie’s former best friend, flatmate and…almost-lover!

It’s been three years since Charlie impulsively jumped into bed with Jas, then a struggling student. But their nearly-one-night stand had just been warming up when Jas began the male ‘backing off’ ritual, practically sprinting out the door with the classic excuse, ‘It’s not you, it’s me.’ Yeah, right. Everyone knows what that means: It is you! Not pretty enough, not successful enough — just not enough.

Charlie has dealt with it — and a whole lot more — but the unanswered questions still niggle. Acting on impulse once again, she invites Jas to join her own European tour! And as they share hotel rooms, play at being tourists and dodge Jas’s determined groupies, it becomes clear they’re both at a crossroads in life. Before they can move on, they finally have to deal with the unfinished business between them — starting with a serious conversation about that night.

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I hate Valentine’s Day…

Just like you.

One of the top wedding photographers in town, Liv Hetherington, steadfastly single, hates Valentine’s Day. This year she’s putting her foot down and has vowed there’ll be no dinner party set-ups, speed-dating frenzies or any other form of accidental dating organised byher father, flatmate or best friend.

Liv’s ecstatic, to say the least. Now she can concentrate on more important things like setting up her own studio and polishing off her Dickens collection. But are relationships really not for her? Drew, the new man in Liv’s life, would beg to differ. As would Cupid, who’s had enough of Liv being stubbornly single…

Valentine’s Day…bah, humbug. Or is that about to change?
