RE-ISSUED WITH A BEAUTIFUL NEW LOOK, A PERFECT NOVEL FOR FANS OF MAEVE HARAN AND PATRICIA SCANLAN Ella Norton has opted for the simple life. Gone are the power suits and an executive career, in are the wellies, a horticulture course and Matt, her immensely sexy tutor. With two lodgers - gorgeous, worldly Miranda and unglamorous, naive Faith - to help with the DIY, it can't go wrong. Except that Miranda and Faith hate each other, Matt has a wife, and the DIY lands them in casualty. But it's when tall, abrasive and engaged CID man Jaz Singh sets up camp in Ella's bedroom that life starts to spiral seriously out of control. Embracing the simple life has never been so complicated...
Linda Taylor worked for the Civil Service in London and Angola, and as a vice-consul in Sri Lanka before teaching in Japan. On her return, she read English at Oxford. When her first novel, Reading Between the Lines, was published in 1998 it immediately became a Sunday Times Top Ten bestseller; her second novel, Going Against the Grain, was published in 1999 to great acclaim, followed by Rising to the Occasion and, most recently, Shooting at the Stars. She lives in Kent.
