Welding, a Jack Reacher novel and a night in with a bottle of red wine seems to be as exciting as Sophie Anderson's life gets. That is until a stint of on-site work brings Tom into her life. He's been her foreman for years now but when they're forced to work together for the first time, Sophie begins to see that happiness might have finally taken a chance on her and that the often overlooked manager might just be the man of her dreams. But Mel, her best friend and flat mate, has a harrowing past that returns with devastating results and Sophie is forced to wonder whether happiness is real or just a fairy tale told to hide the bars and walls of a man-made prison. Love, heat and passion are as much a part of Sophie's tale as the grief and suffering which follows her every step. Expect to find her unfinished tale a real and painful journey into the life of someone who might be working a cubicle down from you or in the welding bay on the other side of the workshop.
