Book description
Gina had fallen for Matt Hooley when they were both teenage rebels.
Together, they were going to save the world - until their mothers put a
stop to it, and made sure they never saw each other again. Now, fourteen
years later, Gina still regards Matt as 'The One'. No one else has ever
come close to measuring up. All of her other boyfriends have eventually
stumbled at some hurdle or other, cursing 'Saint Matt' as they fell.
Gina's always had a daydream that one day Matt would come back and carry
her off on his obligatory white charger. But never once in her fantasies
did he ever arrive complete with an ex-wife and three kids! Worse, her
teenage rebel has become thoroughly respectable. Well groomed, wealthy,
middle class - he could even pass for an accountant! How can her Mr
Right have gone so wrong...? Zoë Barnes' varied career included stints
as a hearing-aid technician, shorthand teacher, French translator and
the worst accounts clerk in the entire world. When not writing her own
novels, she translated other people's and also works as a
semi-professional singer. She died in autumn 2009.
