'There are already three of us in this marriage. I'm not sure there is room for a fourth . . .' Ann is a reluctant Vicar's wife. She tries her best but her husband only has eyes for God, her son is asking questions she can't answer, and it is all too easy to displease the congregation.

When her brother needs her help, Ann travels from Cornwall up to London. There she meets Jamie, and a new world unexpectedly opens up. Ann knows what the older women of the parish would say - she's made her bed and now she has to lie in it. But once she has been led into temptation, it may prove impossible to resist . . .
