2020 | Fiction & Poetry | Humor & Comedy | Romance

Lucy Stephenson is facing a Christmas nightmare.

Her bistro, 'The Town Mouse', is in a bad financial and her sous chef, Emily, has just dropped the bomb that she’s quitting -
leaving Lucy in the lurch just weeks before Christmas. Unable to see how she can turn her business around, Lucy reaches out to Dustin at a cookery agency to find a temporary chef. In a stroke of luck, Dustin says he has the perfect man for the job.

Lucy is surprised when the stranger, James Drummond, arrives in her kitchen, but shes glad of the help. What's more, she can't take her eyes off him. As the two work together through the night, feelings stir between them - despite James' arrogance - and Lucy in desperate need of holiday help, offers this mystery man a job.

James’ normal mantra is, "Get in, Revolutionise, Get out." But will it be that simple with The Town Mouse? Will Lucy be able to digest his wacky ideas for the restaurant and deal with him pointing out the flaws in her business every step of the way? Will their feelings lead to disaster, or could love be on the menu?
