Everyone has a fear. Fear of spiders? Arachnophobia. Fear of small spaces? Claustrophobia. And of course, the fear of being tickled by feathers: pteronophobia. Sophie Smart fears drowning. No, her fear isn't some made up malarkey like exposedflabophobia (acute paranoia when wearing a swimsuit and baring pasty thighs and a round bottom). Sophie drowned as a child. She died for three minutes. Her childhood trauma is real. Yet Sophie, hot-shot advertising executive, isn't a child anymore. Now Sophie's most important client, handsome Matthew Silver, is insisting she learn how to swim. She can't blame him really - he's the owner of a chain of swimming centers, and Sophie's in charge of his new advertising campaign. The last thing Sophie wants to do is get in the water, in a clingy swimsuit, with a client she's trying to impress. She's not going to win him over flapping around like an idiot, is she? But with a broken heart from her last relationship, maybe getting into the pool is just what Sophie needs. Maybe she can trust Matthew with her fears. Maybe it's time for her to forget about her past and take the plunge?

Connie Bentley is not your average Newly Qualified Teacher. On her first day at St George's Independent Day School for boys, she celebrates her thirty-second birthday. It's not exactly how she imagined things turning out. Matt Turner is not average in any way. A relationship with a colleague eight years ago didn't exactly lead to the happy outcome he'd expected. When Connie and Matt meet, the spark of attraction is immediate and mutual although neither is going to admit to that because the more they learn about each other, the more they're both getting an uncomfortable feeling of Déjà-Vu .

"My stomach felt weird just by thinking about it. I didn't feel sick or anything. But it had a weird feeling..." After a rough year of adjusting to her new school, Rain Hart can finally be herself again, despite her past occasionally haunting her and having bodily fluids thrown at her. To top it off, having to choose between the affections of two of her close friends. Or maybe she could just avoid choosing them all together. It's only a matter of time before she learns that being "indecisive" will lead to rock bottom, leaving her with a devastating surprise.
