When Life Gives You Lemon Chiffon

Aideen Mag Aoidh was happy. A baker by trade, she adored her job at a bakery in Ballycastle. It felt less like work and more like spending time with friends doing what she loved best - playing with dough and chatting with the locals that came in. She and her boyfriend Xander lived in a gorgeous flat only a five-minute walk to work and her family was just a ferry ride away over on Rathlin. Life was good, or so she thought.

After the absolute worst day at work - where she'd had coffee thrown in her face and been soaked to the skin by rain and puddle sludge - she'd gotten home to find her boyfriend gone. He'd up and moved to Portugal; the only ta-bye being a note on the door letting her know their landlady had new tenants moving into their flat in a few weeks and to not ruin the furniture so he could get his deposit back.

Stunned and numb, her mum and family friend Eileen had come over from Rathlin to help her pack. As soon as they'd left, she'd gone to the post office with a few boxes and mailed them to her best mate Ellie in London. She hadn't thought; she'd just jumped.

Now her life was crumbling at her feet. She was having second thoughts about leaving everyone and everything she'd ever loved. And just as she thought things couldn't get any worse, she'd gone and lost her wallet in the airport, leaving her with no money, no ID, and no boarding pass!

Distraught and on the verge of losing the plot, everything is made right again (at least for the moment) by a stranger with warm amber eyes.
