Book description
Samantha is a high-powered lawyer in London. She works all hours, has
no home life, and cares only about getting a partnership. She thrives
on the pressure and adrenalin. Until one day... she makes a mistake. A
mistake so huge, it'll wreck her career.
She walks right out of the office, gets on the first train she sees,
and finds herself in the middle of nowhere. Asking for directions at a
big, beautiful house, she is mistaken for the interviewee housekeeper
and finds herself being offered the job. They have no idea they've
hired a Cambridge-educated lawyer with an IQ of 158 - Samantha has no
idea how to work the oven.
Disaster ensues. It's chaos as Samantha battles with the washing
machine...the ironing board...and attempts to cook a cordon bleu
dinner. But gradually, she falls in love with her new life in a wholly
unexpected way.
Will her employers ever discover the truth? Will Samantha's old life
ever catch up with her? And if it does...will she want it back?
