Caught up in a complicated web of romantic deceit, Alice's week ends with an unfortunate brush with the Metropolitan Police anti-terrorism unit. Meanwhile, Cleo stumbles upon a thrilling new prospect at the local rubbish tip, where exciting games of dominance and submission are the order of the day.

Alice finds herself literally swept off her feet by the suave and successful Matthew Chater, into a dizzying world of smart cars, up-market restaurants and swish parties. Meanwhile, Cleo and Milly go to war over a boy friend, a tee-shirt and a funeral service.

Meanwhile, Alice's hands are full with a new addition to the sales team, the likeable but wayward Antonia.
