The Vibe

Samantha is a high-powered London lawyer who makes a catastrophic mistake and runs. She ends up in the countryside where a couple mistakes her for a housekeeper — and she has literally no domestic skills. Burnt dinners, ruined laundry, and the gorgeous gardener next door. Kinsella's coziest escape.
