Book description
Shy, dreamy, and incurably romantic, Harriet Poole was shattered when
her brief affair with Simon Villiers, Oxford's leading playboy
undergraduate, ended abruptly, leaving her penniless, alone and
pregnant. Still hopelessly in love with Simon, she took baby William
and buried herself in deepest Yorkshire as nanny to the children of
Cory Erskine, a somewhat eccentric scriptwriter.
Local tongues were just beginning to wag when a whole host of
visitors began to arrive to disrupt Harriet's peaceful routine: first
Cory's estranged wife Noel, hellbent on winning Cory back, then Cory's
glamorous brother Kit, whose old affair with Noel didn't stop him
making passes at Harriet, and finally, of all people, Simon...
