My name is Samantha Smith. I am twenty-seven. I have never baked a loaf of bread in my life. I don't know how to unfold an ironing board. What I do know is how to construct a contract exploiting European corporate tax harmonisation and save my client '3 million. Samantha Smith got the highest law degree of her year. She's on the fast track for a partnership at a high pressure legal firm. Her time is worth '50 every six minutes. She works nights, she works weekends, she never sees the sunlight. Her home life is non-existent. She thrives on the pressure and the adrenalin. Until ... she makes a mistake. A mistake so huge, it will wreck her career. She goes into meltdown, 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 by Eddie and Trish Geiger for the interviewee housekeeper and finds herself being offered the job. The Geigers have no idea they've hired a Cambridge educated lawyer with an IQ of 168 as their housekeeper - Samantha has no idea how to work the oven. Gradually Samantha starts to learn. She learns how to bake bread, she learns how to slow down. But then her old life threatens to catch up with her. And when it does ...will she want it back?
