Accepting a menial job in her enemy’s kitchen, she plots his downfall – but ends up getting her heart broken, fingers burnt and her goose cooked…

‘A rollercoaster of emotional tangles that are vintage Fiona Walker’ Bolton Evening News

If you’re looking for an un-put-downable holiday read, this is it (B)
