* WHO SAID ROMANCE WAS DEAD?

Portia Davenport is officially the luckiest woman in the world. She and her drop-dead gorgeous husband, Andrew, have just finished ploughing a fortune into renovating her ancestral home, Davenport Hall, and are now planning to unveil it as one of the most fabulous, luxurious, five-star country house hotels in Kildare....

But life never turns out like you think, and no sooner has the red ribbon been cut at the grand opening party, than Andrew is jetting off to New York, back to his old job, old apartment, old friends and Portia very much fears, his bachelor ways.....

And so the smooth running of Davenport Hall is entrusted to her beautiful, yet inexperienced, younger sister, Daisy - and the timing isn't perfect as Eleanor Armstrong, daughter of the Irish President, has chosen the Hall as the perfect backdrop for her society wedding to a footballing legend...

So the pressure is on!

Meanwhile, in Manhattan, Portia meets Lynn Fairweather, a single woman on a one-track mission to find Mr Right. And if he just happens to be married to Portia, then that's her problem...
