Book description
Eversleigh Manor provides the perfect location for hit new television
show, Lady Jane Investigates. But when the film crew descends en
masse, no one could have predicted that romance would be brewing
before the clapperboard had snapped its last. Least of all Guy
Portias, heir to the manor and favourite beau of leading lady,
Richenda Fox.
And Guy's rash proposal of marriage in the drunken wake of the
after-show party is only the first of his worries. After all, his
mother has her heart set on running Country House Weekends for the
discerning holidaymaker and her new employee, Honor, has a talent for
mass catering . . . and for making Guy feel a little warm under the
collar.
But Honor is preoccupied with her own problems - a fickle
ex-boyfriend is hovering in the wings and her best friend, Henty,
seems inordinately distracted by her smouldering new groom, Travis.
Throw in a long-lost mother, a philandering husband and a floozy of a
florist and watch the residents of Eversleigh village work themselves
into a lather of epic proportions.
