A funny, sharply observed contemporary love story from the author of Coming Alive Beth is headmistress of a school in Devon, one that has just been successfully inspected by Ofsted. At the peak of her career, comfortably single and with enough money to enjoy herself, life looks good. In theory. But with the arrival of Beth's teenage niece Emma - sent to Dawlish by her parents to recover from glandular fever, whilst they escape to Italy - all hell breaks loose. Within days Emma has set her sights on the only eligible batchelor in the neighbourhood, an organic farmer named Conrad who also happens to be a fading rock-star - and idol of Beth's own teenage years. Beth's independent lifestyle is turned upside down as Emma plays her dangerous game of seduction. And Conrad, meanwhile, seems to have bitten off more than he can chew...
