Differences are inconsequential; only love matters.

A decade without someone in her life is taking its toll. Though she has secret liaisons a few times a year, she can’t tell anyone about. That would be far too problematic.

Leon believes his new home will be a fresh start for him and his five-year-old daughter, Mali. A young single father trying to juggle being a mum, and a dad is hard work. All he wants is another child so Mali won’t be alone, very much like how he feels since they were abandoned by her mother.
Esme and Leon are poles apart, but the next door neighbours strike up an odd friendship. When they start to have feelings for each other, one of them decides the other isn’t what they want, with the possibility of scuppering both their chances of happiness
Can Esme find a man to love her and is Leon willing to let the bitter taste from a past relationship enable him to move on?
