Emma Sheridan's wedding day was the happiest day of her life. But now the honeymoon is over and she's having to cope with the reality of married life. She's living in a new town, has a new job and a new husband, Joe, who hasn't quite left his bachelor days behind him. Then there's Emma's ever-present mother-in-law who's expecting the patter of tiny feet before Emma's even been carried over the threshold. Still, at least she and Joe are together at last. Though - holidays aside - Joe and Emma have never spent more than two weeks in each other's company. Setting up home together for the first time might be romantic, but no one warned them that living happily ever after takes a lot of hard work...
