Widowed four years ago, London antiques dealer Lucy Fellowes was plunged into single motherhood with two growing boys. Since then, she's had little time--or inclination--to think straight, much less fall in love again. Now, she's been offered an incredible dream house in the country. Of course, accepting means having to cope with her domineering mother-in-law, her husband's wacky family, and all their assorted scandals. But suddenly, none of it matters. Because she's met HIM. His name is Charles; he's a famous television writer, gorgeous, witty, charming, and very, very attracted to her . And, he's married. Well, a woman can't have everything. Or can she? In this delightfully sexy, amusing romp through mishap and desire, Catherine Alliott hits the shores of America with a romantic comedy of manners and unexpected passion--in which her plucky heroine discovers that despite her best intentions, love has a plan all its own!
