Alex doesn’t know who he is without his money and his looks, but going by the new housekeeper’s reaction, he’ll never set foot in public again. He’s fired every other housekeeper in three towns so he’s stuck with the beguiling Rose. Sparks fly. As Alex spends more and more time with Rose, he falls head over heels in love for the first time in his miserable life.
