It was betrayal of the worst kind. Her husband. His wife. A clandestine affair that had torn apart their families and left them to pick up the pieces—after a tragic accident revealed the scandalous truth. Widow and widower. Neither wanted anything to do with each other, but their sons had been best friends…before…. Now, Mardi Sinclair was financially strapped with a son and grandfather to care for, and Cain Templar was struggling as a single dad. Out of the needs of their young sons, they married. But would their own adult yearnings force them to realize that perhaps this union was the true love of a lifetime?
An uneasy truce is being held between Sally's devil, Muddlespot, and her angel, Windleberry. But then the cupids attack... For once, Muddle and Win are in agreement: cupids mean Trouble. They both know that when True Love is involved, things aren’t simply black or white – they’re horribly, confusingly pink! Sure enough, a heart-tipped golden arrow makes Sally’s sister Billie fall for Tony, the hottest, and most off-limits, boy in school. War breaks out at Darlington High, and as usual it's up to Sally to put things right. But can she undo the damage without getting caught in the crossfire?
