Publication Day: 1st October 2024
Published by: Joffe Books
Nannies have a habit of dying in my husband’s family.
His family: The Percivals live in a grand fourteen-acre estate in the Cotswolds, with tennis courts, indoor swimming pool and several cottages – or ‘lodges’ as they call them. I’m only surprised they don’t have a helipad.
My family: Mum’s a florist, Dad’s a kitchen-fitter. They live in a modest maisonette in Gloucester. I’m a hairdresser who dreams of owning my own salon.
I recently married the man of my dreams. The difference in our backgrounds was never an issue.
Until now.
My husband persuades me to move into his family home while we save for our own place.
It’s the worst mistake I ever made.
I don’t really fit in. My father-in-law has a twinkle in his eye I don’t like. My effortlessly chic mother-in-law intimidates me. My sister-in-law’s husband bullies her. They make no secret of their amazement that my husband chose me.
And now they’ve hired a new nanny for his sister’s kids.
But nannies have a bad history in this family . . .

Joffe Books
Founded in 2014 by Jasper Joffe, we at Joffe Books pride ourselves on our history of innovative publishing. Thanks to the unflagging passion and dedication brought by everyone in Team Joffe, we have built a reputation for crafting great books for readers, long-term relationships with authors and agents, and fleet-footed marketing of the books we love. We were very proud to be shortlisted for Independent Publisher of the Year at the British Book Awards in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. We won the IPG Trade Publisher of the Year in 2023 and Best Publisher at The People’s Book Prize 2024.
We created the Joffe Books Prize in 2021 to help increase the diversity of the writers we publish.
We have achieved industry-wide renown for discovering new talent as well as bringing overlooked books back to life and delivering them to millions of readers – transforming the careers of their authors in the process. In 2019, we acquired the Robert Hale backlist from Crowood Press and extended our core list of crime and mystery to include sagas, historical and romance. In 2020, we acquired the rights to Nicholas Rhea’s Constable Nick series, Murder Squad founder Margaret Murphy’s critically acclaimed backlist of gripping thrillers and the whole of Faith Martin’s romance list, written under the pseudonym Maxine Barry. We also began a partnership with Severn House to bring the likes of New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Stella Cameron and Judith Cutler to a whole new audience.
We are deeply invested in creating and maintaining our authors’ careers as writers. Each new title is edited with passion and each new cover is designed with a keen eye on how the book will reach its readers. We have signed debut novelists, such as Taylor Adams and Victoria Dowd, and well-established authors, such as Faith Martin and Joy Ellis, and launched them into the book-reading world with genuine enthusiasm for seeing them succeed. As a result, our authors have become some of the most read in the UK, consistently topping the Amazon Kindle and Audible charts for weeks at a time with every new release.
The wonderful talent of our authors is matched by the conviction and dedication of our readership and the community of vocal, passionate book readers we have created through our active presence on social media.
Joffe Books is committed to giving 1% of its revenue to charity to support literacy and the globally most in-need. Much of its giving is inspired by The Life You Can Save.
