When a long-term relationship ended, her best friend's scheme to get Lottie back in the swing of things seemed like a good idea. She's kept her promise to Jess to see it through but, as a lover of the quiet life, Lottie couldn't be happier to say hello to a brand new year - The Year of Saying No!
Unfortunately, the one thing she still seems unable to say no to is the crush she has on her best client and now friend, Army veteran, Seb Marshall. But she's working on it, and with rescue dog Humphrey at her side, she knows that she'll manage just fine.
Lottie's decision to stop trying to please everyone has brought a sense of relief beyond what she had expected. Her actions and determination have also begun to send ripples throughout her life and those closest to her, bringing about changes none of them could have expected.
