What makes good husband material?

Someone who's kind? Someone who's brilliant in bed and puts the rubbish out afterwards?

After sixteen years of marriage to the charming but unfaithful Giles, Amanda's sure of one thing: she isn't going to make the same mistake twice. So when she - literally – bumps into charismatic property developer Angus Day in his cobalt blue sports car there's no way she's going to fall for that charm baloney again. Even if he does offer to pay for her damage.

This time she's going to choose someone suitable. Like the delightful Luke knight, a caring, sharing new man who helps old ladies across street – rather than throwing them into it. Amands is smitten and, despite the misgivings of daughter Clio, she wants him to be very own knight in shining amour.
