✦ Synopsis

From Booklist

Take a recently widowed young woman, her two rambunctious sons, and a clan of aristocratic in-laws; add a luxurious country home, a handsome TV screenwriter, and a reemerging interest in the opposite sex, and you have the makings of either a romantic affair or a ruinous assignation. Although Lucy Fellowes tries to adjust following the death of her husband, she finds that life on her own is no picnic. The in-laws are meddlesome; the home is far from hip, happenin' London; and the gorgeous writer happens to be married. While valiantly attempting to maintain some independence in the face of her in-laws' manipulative domination, Lucy also struggles with the moral dilemma of a forbidden attraction versus her overwhelming loneliness. Making her U.S. debut, bestselling British author Alliott humorously, yet heartwarmingly, depicts a Bridget Jonesian heroine doing her best to fit in with a privileged nobility who would be more comfortable at Fawlty Towers than Buckingham Palace. American fans of British fiction will delight in the discovery of an engaging new author. Carol Haggas
