After a bruising divorce, headstrong Juliet Miller invests in a flat and advertises for a flatmate, little believing that in her late thirties she'll find anyone suitable.

But can Guy turn Hattie's affection for his family into something more - into love for him? And then Juliet makes a discovery, which will turn the lives of all four friends upside-down ...Then Juliet makes a series of discoveries which will turn the lives of all four friends upside-down and turns that Autumn into a season where love can be harvested.
