Hun elsker jobben som jordmor. Hun liker å leve som enslig. Men hun føler også at det er tid for en forandring og litt sjøluft. Så da bestevennen Rebecca spør om hun har lyst til å tilbringe sommeren med å lage mat på en kanalbåt like utenfor skottlandskysten, hopper hun på. Men det er mye å ta tak i. Rebecca er høygravid og glad over å ha sin venn om bord som gjør mesteparten av arbeidet. Og så er det Emilys konkurranseinnstilte og sjalu kjøkkenassistent som mener at hun bør være hovedkokk, og ikke Emily. Og det er Alasdair, den kjekke lokale legen som Emily desperat prøver å ikke ense. For hvis hun forelsker seg i ham, nå som han virker å falle for henne, vil hun noen gang få sitt gamle liv tilbake?
