Kate Finlay is coping - just. She wouldn't trade her precocious daughter Emmi for a million pounds, but as a single mum, holding down a job and paying the bills is hard work. When her boss Dick Anthony - tall, lithe, lean and loaded - starts showing an interest in her, Kate's tempted to reciprocate. But then she meets reckless jack-of-all-trades Tom Llewellyn, who attracts her despite her best intentions. So when Emmi's father Harry Barrett comes back into her life - a changed man - Kate's more than just a little bit confused.
