Présentation de l'éditeur :
Cassie is nothing if not organised. A successful journalist, she's ticked almost all the boxes: attentive boyfriend, own flat, good job, great friends - it's all fallen into place. In theory, at least. There's one part of Cassie's life, however, which is anything but organised, and that's her love for the Darling family. As the only child of ambitious parents, Cassie spent her childhood abandoned to the somewhat peremptory care of a series of nannies until one day, peeping over the garden wall, she met her next-door neighbours: Fritz and Ben, the boys who became her inseparable childhood friends, Gudrun, their father, and Phoebe Darling, the woman who took Cassie in and transformed her life.
But now Phoebe is ill, and when she summons Cassie to ask of her the only favour she's ever requested, Cassie knows she can't say no. But what Phoebe asks is an impossibility: concerned about what will happen to Fritz and Ben after her death, she wants to see them safely married off. Yet entertaining as they were as children, they're terrible as adults. They're utterly charming, ridiculously sexy and completely irresistible, but they're also totally unemployable, hopelessly messy and irretrievably useless. Surely no intelligent woman could be persuaded, once they see past the enticing veneer, to take one of them on for life? But Cassie's determined to grant Phoebe's last wish...
Quatrième de couverture :
Cassie Shaw lives an organised life: good job, respectable boyfriend, own flat. However, one part of her life is anything but organised, and that's her love for the extraordinary, if occasionally maddening, Darling family: her childhood friends Fritz and Ben, and their mother, Phoebe, who took the young Cassie in and transformed her life.
But now Phoebe is ill and she asks Cassie for a very special favour. Concerned about what will happen to her beloved boys after her death, she wants Cassie to find them wives. Cassie can't refuse, but it's a tall order. Fritz and Ben have grown from delightful children into terrible adults. They're utterly charming, ridiculously sexy and completely irresistible, but also totally unemployable, hopelessly messy and irretrievably useless. Surely no intelligent woman could be persuaded, once they see past the enticing veneer, to take one of them on for life?
But Cassie is determined to grant Phoebe's last wish...
