Twice Harri tries to marry the love of her life. Twice she fails. Since there are only so many times she can leave her man standing at the altar, Harri loses him. After this second pre-wedding panic attack, Harri is at sea. Her parents try to distract her, but it's obvious they know more than they want to admit about why she's always been a little fragile. What they are forced to reveal turns Harri's world upside-down. It seems that not only has she lost James but everything else she thought she could dependen on too. As the truth of her past comes out, and the world she thought she knew crumbles around her, Harri struggles to pick up the pieces. Can she find herself again and, if she does, will it be too late for love?

You only get one second chance ...Mary Mackey has endured so much loss in her twenty-nine years that people call her 'Mary of the Sorrows'. Mary has settled for a humdrum existence, a life lived apart from the crowd. That way she hopes to avoid further grief. Her friends - Penny, Ivan and Adam - seem more together but they are just as damaged. Penny's loneliness, Ivan's cowardice and Adam's duplicity are all signs of lives going off the tracks. When a mysterious American moves in beside Mary, her friends are intrigued but she tries to avoid him. Little can they guess that his wounds run at least as deep as theirs, and that his arrival in town will challenge each of them to face their demons. And it will force Mary to decide if she can take a chance on living again...
