She's a maid-of-all-work, and he's a valet of no play...

John Toogood always prided himself on being the perfect gentleman's gentleman: skilled, discreet, and professional. But now he finds himself laid off and blacklisted, stuck in tiny Lively St. Lemeston until he can find a new job. Any job.

Sukey can tell that John's impeccably impassive facade hides a lonely man with a gift for laughter—and kissing. But she also knows he'll leave her sleepy little town behind the moment he gets the chance, and she has no intention of giving him her heart to take with him.
