Jamais Margret n'aurait modifié son apparence si elle n'avait été obligée de se trouver un emploi. Mais Greg Lindley avait désespérément besoin d'une gouvernante d âge mûr. Seule avec les enfants dans la paisible retraite du Maine, Margret ne se souciait donc pas de son apparence. jusqu'à ce que Carl, le cousin de Greg, fasse irruption. Une irruption plutôt inattendue qui changerait la face des choses !

2006 Review: So-so. I was kinda bored with the book and was skimming it. So I guess I can't really give a good review since I skimmed. The back cover seemed interesting but the way the story was written, sorta bored me.
It was easy to fool one of the Lindleys Stage glasses and a severe hairdo had tricked Gregory Lindley into thinking that Margret was right for the job of housekeeper-governess. Maybe it was because he never really looked at her.
Which was fine. Too bad Carl, Greg's rugged and impulsive cousin, wasn't as easy to outwit. He soon found out Margret's true age--and the story of her life!
But that didn't stop him from offering to whisk her off to Peru. Margret knew better than to agree--but her heart was tempting her to go..
Can a 22 yr old really make herself look 30 to 40? She was an actress and the play she was in had been a failure, after only 1 week she was out of a job and money. She was desperate to find anything so when she interviewed for the job as a caregiver and housekeeper she was relieved when she was told there had been very few responses to the ad. Neil needed someone to care for his two children since his wife left him and then died in an accident. He didn't have a job or a home of his own, he was a professor of psychology and been sending out resumes. Until he was offered a professorship at a University he would take his daughter and son and stay in his Aunt's bay side cottage. Then in the middle of the night Margaret was awaken by someone coming through the kitchen window, Carl was more than she could handle.
