Tansy sognava un bellissimo futuro insieme a Justin. Ma quando un’inaspettata rivelazione la mette di fronte all’amara verità sull’uomo che ama, decide di lasciare subito Londra e tornare nel piccolo paese di Sticklepond. Le dolci attenzioni della premurosa zia Nan e l’amicizia di Bella sono un balsamo per le sue pene d’amore. Con un entusiasmo che non pensava più di avere, Tansy si lancia addirittura nella realizzazione di un progetto a lungo desiderato. Nasce così “Le Scarpette di Cenerentola”, un negozio di scarpe davvero molto particolare. Tansy offre infatti alle future spose una vasta scelta di modelli selezionati con estrema cura: sandali vintage disegnati da Manolo Blahnik, stivaletti di Pucci degli anni Settanta, décolleté di Chanel e splendide francesine di Dior. Tansy è orgogliosa del successo della sua nuova attività. Se solo la sua vita sentimentale la rendesse altrettanto soddisfatta! E invece il principe azzurro è ancora latitante. Un giorno, a rompere la monotonia delle sue giornate, arriva Ivo Hawksley, un attore che ha comprato una casa proprio accanto alle “Scarpette di Cenerentola”. L’uomo però, schivo e riservato, mal sopporta Tansy, il negozio e le donne che ogni giorno lo affollano disturbando la sua quiete. Ma il passato di Ivo nasconde un segreto. Un segreto che potrebbe legarlo a Tansy molto più di quanto entrambi avrebbero mai immaginato…
