___________

Ever wished you could trade your life in for a better one?

One day, sitting in traffic, married Dublin mum Stella Sweeney attempts a simple good deed.

When the result is a terrible car accident, she meets a handsome with a Range Rover who wants her number - no, for insurance purposes - and in this meeting a seed is born which will change Stella's life forever.

What happens next will take Stella thousands of miles from her old life, turning an ordinary woman into a superstar and, along the way, wrenching her whole family apart . . .

Was meeting Mr Range Rover destiny or karma?

Should she be grateful or just hopping mad?

And can Stella grab a chance at real, honest-to-goodness happiness now it finally seems within her reach?
