Heartbreak and misunderstandings are woven through this uplifting story of a woman who can never quite believe that her gorgeous husband really loves her. When Ava manages to seduce the gorgeous Irish singer, Patrick, after a gig in New York, she can't quite believe her luck. Can it really be true that he loves and wants to marry her? She knows that his first great love, Rose, broke his heart by marrying someone else. When they move back to Ireland and Ava sees Rose, jealousy begins to grip her. Worse is to come, when she intercepts a letter from Rose to Patrick and her anger starts to spiral. As in Kate Kerrigan's bestseller, The Dress, past and present, couture and vintage clothes, glamour and everyday heartbreak interweave in a story about love, misunderstanding and redemption.
