Publisher's Synopsis
Humiliated, dumped and fired. This has been Ivy Efferson's week so far. Her fiance, Will, has called off their wedding with only six weeks to go. While all her friends were travelling the world and climbing the career ladder, all Ivy dreamed about was getting married and having a family of her own. With no partner, job or home, Ivy is desperate to escape her shame and break free from her disapproving mother and perfect sister. Leaving Edinburgh behind, she heads for Richmond. The leafy, London suburb has always been her source of comfort and solace. Granddad's jasmine scented garden, soothing walks by the riverside and the chance to rediscover her passion for art. Most importantly, Ivy has made the decision that she will rely on no man to give her the child she craves. She plans to go it alone and have an IVF baby. After all, if things can go wrong with Will after eight years, why should she take a chance on someone new?
