Take Millie: a fun, independent dance teacher starting over, whose burlesque classes are all about self-esteem and empowerment. Her new life plan definitely doesn't stretch to bad boys.

And Ed: he's gorgeous, designs firework displays for a living and positively self-destructs at the thought of commitment. But he's embarking on the impossible - a challenge to have ten dates with one woman.

When Millie literally lands in Ed's lap after an accident, she's an unlikely choice for the ten date challenge - scruffy, opinionated and then there's the small matter of that tattoo snaking out of her boot - but he's running out of options, and more importantly, she owes him.

She's so not his type, he's so not in her life-plan, but a weekend in sunny Provence changes everything. Against a backdrop of starry skies and lavender fields, they both have issues they want to leave behind. Secrets have a way of escaping though... is ten dates too long to keep the truth under wraps?
