A woman who's been single all her life can't suddenly find love in her sixties…. That’s what retired teacher Peigi MacKenzie believes. Men have only brought her trouble in the past, and she has long since vowed never to let her heart lead her astray again; she has convinced herself she’s content to be single. She has sold her house in the Hebridean village of Balvaig; she’s financially secure, and happy with her new home on the Wirral peninsula. But the responsibility of looking after her late niece's two young children isn’t what she had planned. She’s looking for a way to reinvent herself… Out of the blue, she meets Liverpudlian ex-policeman Kevin Phillipis, a widower. Although he's far from being what Peigi would think of as "her type", the attraction is mutual. She throws caution to the winds, and within months has agreed to marry Kevin. When everything starts to go wrong, there’s a voice echoing in Peigi’s head - her Free Kirk preacher father’s: ‘Happiness is a signal from the Devil that he’s looking to trip you up.’ Has it all been too good to be true after all?
