Winner of Best Author Read Award - Festival of Romance

The school gates are a great social leveller, with parents from all walks of life brought together whether they like it or not at the start and end of their children's day. For a few, friendships forged there will bring drama, for others consolation, for some romance...

When single working mum Alana reveals the identity of her love-child's father, she isn't prepared for the consequences. Dana knows she should be content with her perfect house and perfect husband but finds herself longing for another child and wishing for more fulfillment. Mo's life has always been hard, but the violence of her alcoholic husband could be the last straw, which only friendship with super-mum Joan can get her through. And what of gay Daddy Gordon?

Will he be able to juggle parenthood and cope with his broken heart at the same time?
