Gina Mason has been fantasising about Matt Hooley for the best part of fifteen years. He was her first boyfriend, and they were going to run away together and change the world - until their mothers put a stop to it. She's heard nothing from him since that dreadful day, but that hasn't stopped her thinking about him; so much so that every relationship she's had has foundered. Nobody can compare to Saint Matt, and most probably nobody ever will. Not that there's time for romance. These days, Gina and her friend Phoebe run a catering company, and when they are talent-spotted for a TV cookery programme it feels like the start of something big. Which is the precise moment when Matt comes crashing back into Gina's life, uninvited and unannounced - complete with wife and three children. He's changed, that much is obvious. The question is, has Gina?
