Helen longs to escape from the agony and heartbreak of a shattered romance, and from the pressures of living in London. But is a job as a doctor's receptionist and secretary really the answer, even if it is in an apparently idyllic, small country practice in the Yorkshire Dales? The handsome doctor is divorced, with a spoiled and troublesome eight-year-old daughter, Emma. Maxine is the owner of the local art gallery, and she's nice enough -- until she suspects Helen of setting her sights on the eligible doctor. Maxine's determined to be his bride, and she isn't going to tolerate any interference.
