Overview

From being a Mistress of the Universe at 8.15 a.m., Amanda McIntyre is nobody. It’s so far beyond "just one of those days" that Amanda McIntyre can’t think of a single thing that’s going right. Global banking industry is in tatters, her career is toast and her girlfriend up to her ears in another woman. New York City has frazzled Amanda’s last nerve.

It’s not hard for her best buddy Malcolm to persuade her to join him for a trip to the sleepy town he calls home. The prospect of sunshine on Australian beaches makes her feel like she’s leaving the dark clouds behind, but then she realizes that Malcolm’s sister Clancy is the person waiting for them at the airport.

They’ve met before. It wasn’t a good scene. To Clancy, the pampered banker princess from the States is a pain in her backside, and probably responsible for the entire economic meltdown. She’ll tolerate the visitor, but only just.

Amanda wants to run for home, yet one week becomes two...becomes four...
