She considers it a breach of professionalism.

“Mrs Harper feels that because of your position as Sophie’s teacher, there could be a conflict of interests involved if this were true. You see, Mrs Harper came to see me yesterday to tell me you have embarked on a…relationship with her former husband.”Įmma was too surprised to answer and merely stared at her superior. I wanted to sleep on it before discussing it with you and I toyed with the idea of waiting until after the inspection but seeing you this morning made me realise there’s never a better time than the present. “But there is a slight problem that came to light yesterday. Well I have no concerns on that score either as I know you to be an exemplary teacher.” “I think I’m well-prepared,” Emma replied, puzzled. “Are you all set for the inspection?” Vanessa asked.

Is Emma's love strong enough to survive Greg's demanding past and the threats to both their careers? What will be the cost of falling in love in a world where everything comes with a high price tag? Then the reappearance of Emma's career-obsessed former boyfriend and Greg's spiteful ex-wife threatens to kill their new love before it has even begun. But Greg, a software developer in the financial sector, is still raw from his painful divorce and Emma, his children's teacher, is recovering from her own heartache.

They meet - of all places - buying tomatoes at the supermarket and there's no denying the attraction is mutual. Love can find you in the strangest places but it's never for sale! On top of that, Emma's deserting boyfriend thinks he can waltz back into her life…and enlist Greg in a highly suspect financial deal. When Greg meets Emma it seems like love at first sight, but when has the course of true love ever run smoothly? What should an easy relationship between two free agents quickly becomes a nightmare when Emma realises that Greg is the father of one of her pupils and that his spiteful ex-wife is hell-bent on making sure he doesn't move on to pastures new.
