Anger management just got a whole lot harder

Alli Williams does NOT have a problem. Well, other than the fact that she’s been snatched away from her high-powered job and forced into an anger management program.

Bea Thomas does have a problem. Well, two, no, make that three. Her ex-boyfriend has moved his new girlfriend into their shared flat, and Bea doesn’t even have a job to take her out of the house during the day.

But when Bea’s friend Liz gets a dose of cosmic Karma, Bea finds herself set up as a yoga teacher at an anger management retreat. Where she runs into Alli. Literally.

It’s hate at first glance. Alli thinks Bea is spineless, and Bea thinks Alli’s just plain rude. Except things keep getting hot and steamy, and there isn’t a sauna in sight. And when Bea’s devious boss starts to show his true colors, maybe there’s someone who can teach Bea to stand up for herself

Gossip is ripe in Tetherington, and not in a good way. But Lucy is sure she can clear Cal’s name even if Cal isn’t sure she wants it clearing. And if something grows between them along the way, well… stranger things have happened in the little town by the sea.

Life isn't all sunshine and roses. Is it?

When loner Ash Wells inherits a bookshop from an aunt she doesn't remember, she thinks a jaunt to the seaside to figure things out is just what she needs to escape from her annoying London neighbors. The plan is simple: have a holiday, sell the bookshop, move on with her life. Oh, and maybe find out who this mysterious Aunt Mary is.

Plus-sized baker Pen Robson is an eternal optimist. So when she meets her grumpy new next door neighbor, she's determined to win her over, no matter how many sticky buns and biscuits that takes. But her tall, dark, and handsome neighbor doesn't even seem to like the ever-generous Pen, let alone want to settle into a story book grumpy-sunshine romance.

Yet when Pen comes up with a madcap plan to save the little bookshop, Ash decides she might as well stick around for a while, especially after an unexpected revelation leaves her wondering just who she really is.

Pen's relentless optimism slowly starts to melt Ash's frozen heart. But as the tiny seaside town begins to grow on Ash, and her plans for life begin to change, her suspicions are beginning to grow as well. And what happens if this all turns out to be a mistake? Does love really conquer all?

Lydia Carlisle knows exactly what she wants: a job at a fancy medical practice to go along with that shiny new doctor's degree. That's what all her plans have been leading to, after all. But while she waits for the perfect position, she's working as a locum to pay the bills.

When ambitious doctor meets cranky receptionist, they don't exactly see eye to eye. But since Lydia is only temporarily in tiny Whitebridge, this really shouldn't be a problem. Right?

Until Cordelia and Lydia are left, quite literally, holding the baby. Oh, and living together too, because this is all Lydia's fault and Cordelia refuses to run a daycare single-handed.

Everybody makes plans, and in Whitebridge those plans are everybody's business. Lydia's starting to think small town doctoring isn't so bad. And Cordelia is (very slowly) beginning to thaw. The town thinks they could be perfect together. Until Lydia's offered her dream job, Whitebridge is cut off by a natural disaster, and a high stakes emergency threatens everything Cordelia holds dear. This isn't what anyone planned. But then, plans can change, can't they?
