Meet Sadie Keith: 39 years-young, single mum of twins, and self-employed magic operative (she doesn't like to say 'clown'). Sadie dreams about the usual things - a miracle cure for cellulite, a night of passion before she forgets how to do it, but mostly making enough money for her family so that she can hang up her red nose and curly wig for good. So when she sees a dilapidated house for sale in a desirable area, Sadie lights on an idea. Why not buy the property, do it up and sell it on? She and the kids could live in it to save money. And at the end of it, she'd have a new, respectable career. With a loan from her best friend's husband, Sadie's soon in business - all she needs now is a builder she can trust. Enter Gareth: sexy, single and, to her amazement, soppy about Sadie (she thought she'd long lost that 'Wow Factor'). But, as the money runs out, the kids run riot and the rain runs in through the hole in the roof, Sadie wonders if she's fallen for the wrong kind of cowboy...
