Samantha Sweeting is a successful 29-years old lawyer who works at Carter Spink, one of the most prestigious law firms in London. She is a workaholic woman with no home life, spent most of her waking hours at work and never had time to do domestic chores. She loves nothing except for her job. But all of this seems worth it, though, when she finds out that her biggest goal which is to become a partner at Carter Spink has achieved. But when she realises that she has made a horrendous mistake that is about to cost her law firm £50 million, she panics and decided to run away.
Terrified, she takes a train heading to a place where she did not even know herself, without thinking twice. She then ends up at a house, which belongs to Trish and Eddie Geiger, who thought that Samantha is a housekeeper who comes to apply a job. Samantha then agrees to become their housekeeper as she needs a place to stay and sort out her mind for a day. But when she finds out that her entire career is over, she decided to become a permanent housekeeper.
Unfortunately, she does not know how to cook, she never learns how to sew on a button and she never does her own laundry or cleaning.
Although Trish and Eddie are easy to fool, as they never thought that Samantha is a fake housekeeper, their handsome gardener, Nathaniel, knows so. Samantha then admits to him that she is not a real housekeeper. She then realizes she must cook and clean for these people and decided to learn things from Nathaniel’s mother, Iris. Eventually, the relationship between Nathaniel and Samantha becomes stronger. Samantha also begins to notice that her life is far more enjoyable than the life she had as a lawyer before, which full with tense.
But things are not going as expected when she realises that she had been betrayed by Arnold Saville, one of her favourite senior partners at Carter Spink. And after an investigation, Samantha was wronged. She is not the one who made the mistake back at Carter Spink. Samantha is then offered full- equity partnership in the firm which is the highest pinnacle. It is the most prestigious job in law. Samantha realizes she must choose between her old life and the new one. Should she put her career over love?

This book is definitely a thumbs up novel. Although I had read this novel for a few times, I never stop liking this story as it is greatly entertaining novel with cute romances and a generous sprinkling of humour. This novel also inspires me to be bold and responsible.
