cover:
Alice Shoemaker goes to great lengths to avoid telling the truth about herself and her past. But this proves difficult when she agrees to help out the strange and obnoxiously rude man who is staying at Cuckoo House and who clearly has something to hide...
Clayton Miller's life is a mess. His career as one of the country's best comedy script writers has stalled and his long-term girlfriend has left him for his ex writing partner. Just when he thinks life couldn't get any worse, he commits a spectacularly public fall from grace and with the press hounding him, his agent banishes him to the middle of nowhere until the dust has settled. And there he meets Alice.
As they discover the truth about each other they form an unlikely friendship and secrets are revealed, until Alice discovers the worst kind of betrayal...
Really enjoyed this & read it all in almost one sitting. Alice & Clayton are likeable characters. I nearly stopped reading at Katya - ridiculous! - & Alice's overreaction to Clay's new story is an overused device, but otherwise it was a nice, amusing read.
