Falling in love was never easy for Liam Kirk, until he met Valerie Walters. Their relationship -- if you could call it that -- was strained, least of all because she was still the girlfriend of an old mate. This, however, didn't stop them embarking on an affair which ended rather abruptly. Fast forward 13 years and Liam has just completed his first novel based on his relationship with Val -- without changing her name. This wouldn't be such a problem if she hadn't just gate-crashed Liam's life for a second time and was now reading his account of their relationship. Will they have the happy ending Liam wished for all those years ago? Or will Val get the better of him One More Time? Set in various Lancastrian pubs and Californian coffee bars, this wry novel marks the writing debut of Michael Dilworth.
