    • Rosie vězí až po krk v nešťastném manželství. Není divu, že z něj touží uniknout. Jenomže manžel nechce o rozvodu ani slyšet. Co teď? Jak se vymanit z jeho vlivu? Nebylo by špatné, kdyby se mu stala nějaká nehoda, říká si Rosie. Ale obyčejný rozchod bude přece jen jednodušší... A tak si jednoho dne sbalí, vezme s sebou synka, vypraví manžela na oběd do klubu a opustí ho. Nastěhuje se do domku, jenž patří známému přitažlivému sochaři Jossovi, který Rosie není lhostejný... Jenže než si vůbec začne užívat svého nového života, manžel umírá. Pravděpodobně se otrávil houbami, které mu před odchodem sama připravila. Rosie se ocitá v pasti.

      When Olivia's husband Johnny announces, 'I don't care what colour you paint the hall, I'm leaving,' Olivia is understandably devastated. Left with an eccentric troop of builders camping in her back garden, a ten-year-old daughter with 'attitude' and a neurotic neighbour intent on foisting cast-off men in her direction, Olivia's dream home is suddenly less than dreamy. Will Johnny ever come back, and if he doesn't, will her luck ever change?

    • There are three people in Imogen Cameron’s marriage – herself, her husband, Alex, and their son, Rufus – and that’s just the way she likes it. But that’s about to change... When the Camerons hit dire financial straits they’re forced to leave London and accept Eleanor Latimer’s offer of a rent-free cottage on her country estate. Ordinarily, such an offer is not to be sniffed at but, as Eleanor happens to be Alex’s beautiful, rich and frankly flirtatious ex, Imogen is very sniffy indeed. And with good reason. Once installed in Shepherd’s Cottage, Imogen’s life is suddenly full to bursting with surly locals, psychotic chickens, a maddening (if handsome) headmaster, mountains of manure, visits from the infuriatingly bossy vet, and Eleanor, who seems to be glued to Alex’s side. As far as Imogen’s concerned, two’s a marriage, three’s a family and this...well, this is just silly, someone’s going to have to go. The question is who?
