Maid in Chelsea Andrene Low

Her other half is soft in all the wrong places. She's on the bones of her arse. Could freedom come in the unlikely form of a jar of pickled onions and a small tartan thermos?




For primary school teacher Vivienne, life has turned into one long detention. Stuck in a dead-end relationship, nothing's working, especially Kenny her live-in boyfriend.




Viv isn't sure why she snaps that Friday night. Is it that his foreplay will never rate a mention in Cosmo, or her having to spend yet another night on a couch infused with Chinese takeaways?




Perhaps it's a bit of both that sees her bolting, reasoning anywhere is better than there. Now all she needs is a new job, a new home and a new life. A piece of cake, right?




Landing a live-in nanny role sorts two of these. Now all she has to deal with is a seven-year-old who's an unnatural shade of blue, an over-zealous member of the British slap and tickle club and the rekindling of an old flame.




Will Viv's patched-up new life be strong enough to resist her past?
