About the Book

The panoramic tale of a single dad trying to romance a beatiful professional woman, and going on a roller-coaster ride of emotions, with the tapestry of life in London the backdrop.

Trent Anderson is a single dad living in London with his daughter and son, and keeping down a demanding day job. He falls in love with single and child-free Zara through an internet dating site that he enters by chance. Initially enthusiastic, she is not too keen on him after discovering his home situation, and lets him know she can’t hack living with him. Later, just before she goes into hospital for a major fibroid removal operation, she tells him she is in love with him after all. Then fully recovered, she begins to have doubts again as she sees her biological clock counting down. He seeks solace and advice from friends who buoy him up and show him that life goes on no matter how dark the night was. As he is ready to move on, however, she finally accepts him unconditionally.
