Midwife Shelby Gianopoulos is feeling desperate...

Single and alone at twenty-seven, she has spent many a family gathering fending off the increasing concern from her well-meaning relatives. Now, there's another family wedding looming and Shelby's desperate to find a date. She can't bear the thought of being the brunt of more pitying looks and outright confrontations.

Doctor Samuel Munro is the perfect choice. Good-looking, young and single, he sets female hearts aflutter all over the Sydney Harbour Hospital. Though she barely knows him, Shelby is relieved when he agrees to accompany her to the wedding and pretend that they're in love. Little does she know they're not the only ones pretending...

Alexei Gianopoulos, a senior partner at Harton & Wentworth, is living a double life. When Shelby discovers her father's secret, he stuns her even more by telling her Shelby's mother knows all about it. Toss in the fact that Shelby's brother has just come out to her and it's little wonder her mind is in a spin.

And then she discovers other peculiarities - like a dead man's baseball cap in her father's den - and she can't help but wonder what other secrets her family have hidden so well...
