Up the Garden Path

First in a new series about Izzy, a schoolteacher, in love. Unfortunately she is in love with a married man, her class is unruly and there is too much chocolate cake in her small flat.

Izzy's feverish romance with unsuitable Michael meets with disapproval from Maria, and competition from lovestruck Dick.

With her pupils fighting at school and Maria threatening violence to her ex-husband at home, Izzy needs a nice quiet night. But not with the over-eager Gwyn.

Let down again by the impossible Michael, Izzy embarks on a daredevil whim - to meet his wife.

Izzy has moved in with the Tristrams and finds her passion for Michael abating - not so his for her.

With her own life sailing into calmer waters, Izzy turns "agony aunt" in an attempt to mend Maria's marriage.
