Holly Green is an auditor with a New York firm. While working temporarily in the Dublin office, she falls in love with her colleague Oliver Conlon. Fresh out of a disastrous love affair, she now feels she can rebuild her future.

Then she comes up against corrupt businessman Ger Baron and her tough- minded tactics land her in hot water at work. It looks like she must return to New York, leaving Oliver and a lot of unresolved issues behind.

But, suddenly thinking outside the box, she makes a decision that puts her in a very strange situation indeed . . .

A few days later Holly is live-in nanny to two small children – a withdrawn five-year-old and a demon two-year-old – and is wishing she really did have the experience she claimed she had on her CV. Then she makes two discoveries: Supernanny – and the fact that applying her own business training may be just the thing to whip the household into shape . . .

Whipping Oliver Conlon into shape is another item on her agenda . . .
