This is a frothy love story by a major new popular fiction talent. Legal secretary Fern can"t quite believe her luck when posh barrister James Carver takes a shine to her. With her mahogany brown hair, "I blend in with the office furniture" , and green eyes, she doesn"t feel in any way special. After all, a typing speed of 60wpm and a failed artistic career hardly make her a catch. Flattered and thrilled at the attention, Fern is smitten, even when James turns out to have some very strange habits. When will Fern see that he is a total rat? When she gets the sack, for slapping a judge, or when she realises he"s already got a girlfriend? With her family breaking apart and her love life in disarray, Fern refuses to see the truth about James, or about herself, and why she"s running away from a man who really loves he.
