[English Channel 01] • Plain Jane Wanted

It’s the worst day of Millie’s life. She’s just lost everything: job, marriage and home which is all her own fault. What else do you call sacrificing ten years to support the cheating husband who just called you frumpy, dumpy and beige? Then she reads a job advert for a plain woman to work for a cranky old man on some tiny island in the English Channel. It sounds like the perfect new start

Three months later, Millie has blossomed. Sunny days out exploring the lovely island have improved her fitness and colouring. Distance from her nasty husband has restored her confidence and joy and reawakened her dreams of a wild herb café by the sea.

The icing on the cake is her boss’s sexy, fascinating, knight-in-shining-armour son. She has no idea that she’s exactly the kind of woman he avoids.

A heart-warming love story (Cosy women’s fiction/romance) set in Britain and focussing on the emotional dynamic between the characters and the woman’s personal growth.
