Book description
When Jo Green takes a nannying job in London to escape her small-town
routine, complicated family, and perfect-on-paper boyfriend Shaun,
culture shock doesn't even begin to describe it. Dick and Vanessa
Fitzgerald are the most incompatible pair since Tom and Jerry, and
their children - glittery warrior pixie Cassandra, bloodthirsty Zak
and shy little Tallulah - are downright mystifying. Suddenly village
life seems terribly appealing.
Then, just as Jo's getting the hang of their designer lifestyle, the
Fitzgeralds acquire a new lodger and suddenly she's sharing her nanny
flat with the distractingly good-looking but inexplicably moody Josh.
So when Shaun turns up, things get even trickier...
A heartwarming, laugh out loud romantic novel with a fantastically
dysfunctional family and complicated love triangle to amuse every reader.
