Sweet-natured but disaster-prone, twenty-eight year old Izzy Brown finds herself living and working in a remote North Yorkshire village as a reluctant and very incapable nanny after losing her boyfriend, her job and her home all within the space of an hour on St. Valentine's Day...
Used to the bright lights of the vibrant London scene, Izzy is appalled to discover that she is expected to cook, clean and – horrors! – learn to ride horses. Quite daunting for someone who has never ridden anything other than the Tube!
Never was someone as ill-equipped to deal with rural life as Izzy Brown. She is forced to swap her high heels for riding boots, her mojitos for orange squash. Worse still, soon realises that there is something sinister lurking beneath the facade of bucolic perfection and can’t help but end up caught up in the thick of it.
With a cast of characters including two very spoilt children – sensitive, intelligent Taryn and temperamental wannabe-showjumper Carlotta – a wealthy businessman up on an assault charge, a no-nonsense gardener, a comely groom and a suave wine salesman – as well as a menagerie of horses and dogs with attitude! – Izzy soon finds herself immersed in the dramas of country life and discovers that even an outsider can wear the crown of village idiot…
Think Bridget Jones in a wax jacket and pink Hunter wellies crossed with the Undomestic Goddess with a Hannah Montana DVD in one hand and Pony magazine in the other, but even more hopeless than either.
