Despite Stella's misgivings her best friend Daphne persuades
her to visit a fortune teller. Rosie-Lee promises both girls will live long and
happy lives. For orphaned Stella, the fortune teller's claims include a tall,
dark handsome man and the family she longs for. Stella doesn't believe a word,
so Rosie-Lee produces a letter, to be read in a year's time, which will prove
her predictions are true.
Stella remains sceptical but Daphne is totally convinced. She
attempts to manipulate Stella's life, starting by introducing Stella to her new
boss Luigi, who fits the romantic hero image perfectly. In complete contrast is
Daphne's infuriating policeman brother John. Despite his childhood romance with
Stella ending badly he still acts as though he has a right to be involved in
her life.
Soon John is the least of her worries. Daphne's keeping a
secret, Luigi can't be trusted, romantically or professionally and both girls'
jobs are at risk. Worse still, John's concerns for their safety are proved to
be justified.
John, and Rosie-Lee's letter, are all Stella has to help put
things right.
