But with a bride famed for her chaotic sense of time & the bride's daughter busy mashing Molton Brown into the expensive hotel carpet minus underwear the odds are stacked against her.. . At least she has her new 'chicken fillet' boob-enhancers to make her feel special. That is until these are spotted poking over the top of her dress. So spotted by Jack
- the most ruggedly attractive man Evie has ever laid eyes on. Evie is twenty-seven; a sparkly down-to-earth journalist. She has never been in love & has started to fret that she never will be.

Things get worse when Evie learns that Jack is her friend Valentina's date. Valentina is beautiful shallow & self-obsessed. Her dates tend to be mirror-images. Which can mean only one thing: Jack can't possibly be as good as he seems. But as they sit together talking late into the night Evie finds herself yearning to believe he's all real.
