But with the arrival of a mysterious, sexy young millionaire, things begin to hot up. Under Jack's magical influence, Rachel, Bianca, Harriet and Summer are thrown together into a whirl of parties, adventures, friendship and love.
Why does Jack show such an interest in them all? Can one man really bring happiness to four women? As summer draws to an end, the twenty-somethings realise they still have a lot to learn before they are thirty...
