Description

Workaholic attorney Samantha Sweeting has just done the unthinkable. She’s made a mistake so huge, it’ll wreck any chance of a partnership.

Going into utter meltdown, she walks out of her London office, gets on a train, and ends up in the middle of nowhere. Asking for directions at a big, beautiful house, she’s mistaken for an interviewee and finds herself being offered a job as housekeeper. Her employers have no idea they’ve hired a lawyer–and Samantha has no idea how to work the oven. She can’t sew on a button, bake a potato, or get the #@%# ironing board to open. How she takes a deep breath and begins to cope–and finds love–is a story as delicious as the bread she learns to bake.

But will her old life ever catch up with her? And if it does…will she want it back?

    I found this book to be perfect for a fall day out in the park. The tale of a hot shot female working hard and having the ground fall beneath her and watching her rebuild the shambles of life was fantastic! A great motivator to get off your buns and do something exciting for the sake of living your life!
  • Must read

    What a romp! A high-powered, cut-throat lawyer at one of London's most prestigious firms is on the verge of becoming the youngest partner in its history when disaster strikes. Shaken & humiliated, Samantha stumbles blindly onto a train to the country. When she leaves the train in search of pain relief & is mistaken for an unemployed maid, her quest ends with a hiding place & a new job... As a maid! Quite a challenge for someone who burns toast! A savvy, young gardener sees through her veneer & lends a hand, but the fun is far from over. Plenty of twists & revelations keep the plot from dragging or getting too predictable. Enjoy!
