The Villa Matisse
About this ebook
A well-paid Christmas job cooking for a wealthy English family in their luxurious holiday home on the French Riviera – what’s not to like? Or so thinks Alix Bailey: private chef and single parent who is always up for a challenge.
With her son, Carl, off skiing with his father, what could possibly go wrong? Answer: absolutely everything.
True, the Villa Matisse would be a dream if its rude, arrogant owner, Luc Mandeville, weren’t such a nightmare. But Alix isn’t one to give up easily, even when it seems she’s made a terrible mistake. And if she’s misjudged the recipe for romance, well, that’s hardly a first. As for facing a few uncomfortable truths about herself, Alix can deal with that. She’s made of sterner stuff. All she has to do is cook her way out of trouble.
An enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy that serves up heat, heart and a pinch of chaos.

About the author
After many years living in France, Jane Jennings is now back in the English county where she was born. Even so, her romantic comedies Nothing Like a Dream and The Villa Matisse are set in the country she still adores. Profoundly deaf, Jane lip-reads — a skill that occasionally leads to unintentional eavesdropping. When she’s not writing, she can usually be found reading or out on a walk, ideally one that ends at a pub.
