In the cosy town of Birch Lake, tea shop owner Poppy Kitchener thought she’d put her past – and her failed marriage – behind her.

But when her ex-husband, Alistair Miller turns up, old feelings float to the surface. To top it off, he has a bold proposition: pretend they’re still married for his cousin’s wedding in exchange for a lucrative business deal. Easy enough, right? After all, this could be Poppy’s last chance to get closure, grow her business and use Alistair’s knowledge of microbrewing to help her finish that winning recipe for the tea competition.
