Maggie May has a lot going for her.

A house in Cornwall. A fiancé. A sister.

Unfortunately, her fiancé is sleeping with her sister. In her kitchen. Over her table.

Ben Jones has his own problems. A lot of them. And a very questionable plan to fix them.

When Ben and Maggie meet unexpectedly, they make a deal: five weeks to turn their lives around. And neither of them will do anything stupid in the meantime.

Except one of them has been keeping a secret the whole time…
