Romy Kilkenny loves her life in Australia, she has her dream job, lots of mates, and a best friend in Keith, who understands her better than anyone.

Flying home to see her mother and her half-siblings, Romy doubts she'll fit in better now than she ever did. She also worries that the accidental half-kiss with Keith at the airport may have brought their easy friendship to a sudden end. Whatever lies ahead, it's not what Romy's expecting - even the people we grow up with can surprise us, and if love is to be found, it will find a way.
