Things finally come to a head after several H and h roofie kissing moments where the h firmly rejects the H because she thinks he is a total player who is getting married. Because the H believes that the h is a baby sister controlling busy body who tyrannizes everyone, we soon learn that the H is really there to try and steal the h's new chef away.īut the new chef doesn't want to leave because he likes the h and his divorced wife and his daughter live nearby and he wants to be close to his kid, even tho his wife is remarried. The hotel side of the h's business is struggling, tho the h was able to get a Ramsey Gordon quality chef to work for her and the restaurant side is booming. The H and h bicker along like gasoline fire bombs poured on dry kindling and it soon becomes apparent there is some underlying Lurve Force Mojo tension complicating the situation. Still, whiny baby sister refuses to just ask the H if he knows where her husband is, so an elaborate charade of inviting the H for dinner is enacted along with various other stratagems to make the H reveal the hidden hubby's whereabouts.

So the h isn't too impressed with this rather obnoxious guy who seems to be running the ladies around on leashes.

The h believes that the 'Darling' lady is the H's lady buffet sample for the weekend and that the woman on the phone is his fiancee, who is going over their wedding plans with him. Since the H is allergic to her perfume, he starts sneezing right away, but he doesn't actually haul the h out of her hiding place as his lady companion 'darling's' her way into the H fixing her a drink and the H also calls some woman about an upcoming wedding. She was snooping around the room and heard the H and his lady friend come in and then stupidly jumped in the wardrobe instead of just saying she had to check on a leak or something.

When the book opens, the 27 yr old h is hiding in the H's wardrobe in his hotel room.

Since the baby sister is pregnant and the h has always been her caretaker, even tho they have two perfectly good parents who are retired in Spain, the h tries to be the Carmen San Diego of missing husband hotel detectives everywhere. This is one long slog of misunderstandings and confusion as the baby sister refuses to be accountable for her own marriage or running her life and dumps the responsibility of tracking her wandering husband down on the h. Re One-Man Woman - Carole Mortimer does the huge misunderstanding bickerfest in this one, her 9oth HP, with an inn keeper h whose baby sister's husband has taken off and the tycoon H who knows where he is, but won't share that information.
