Stories from the City

Love may be simple, but relationships are complex and this group of thirty-somethings is discovering just how complicated life can get when romance is involved.

Nathan Stone is the ultimate bachelor. Known as a high-flyer in the London Advertising circuit, Nathan loves his playboy lifestyle of casual sex, all-night parties and class-A drugs. Or so he thought. Nathan's well-ordered work-hard/play-hard world comes to a crashing halt when he meets Ashley Granger, the yoga-loving, down-to-earth, new Creative Director at work. Will Ashley be the one to tame the infamous Nathan Stone?

Ashley Granger has just returned to London after three years in Bali, where she fled to escape an explosively violent relationship with a well-known London drug-dealer. She's starting to pull her life back together with a new flat, her perfect job, and now possibly the man of her dreams... but just as things start to go right, Ashley's past comes back to haunt her with devastating consequences.

Ryan McPherson is Nathan Stone's best mate, who unbeknownst to Nathan, also used to be Ashley's closest friend before she disappeared. Ryan was secretly in love with his off-the-rails friend before she vanished without a trace, but when she never returned, he believed that she was dead... until now. Three years after her mysterious disappearance, Ashley shows up at Ryans office for a job interview... with his wife.

Kat McPherson has come to terms with the fact that she is the second love of her husband's life, but the competition was pretty easy when her predecessor was nothing but a ghost. Things get a little more tricky when the ghost of girlfriends past, struts her tall frame right back into Kat's life. Will her marriage survive? Kat's about to find out.
