Synopsis

Legal secretary Fern can't quite believe her luck when posh barrister James Carver takes a shine to her. With her mahogany brown hair - 'I blend in with the office furniture' - and green eyes, she doesn't feel in any way special. After all, a typing speed of 60wpm and a failed artistic career hardly make her a catch. Flattered and thrilled at the attention, Fern is smitten, even when James turns out to have some very strange habits. When will Fern see that he is a total rat? When she gets the sack - for slapping a judge - or when she realizes he's already got a girlfriend? With her family breaking apart and her love life in disarray, Fern refuses to see the truth about James - or about herself, and why she's running away from a man who really loves her...Told with wit and zing and peopled with terrific characters, A Brush with Love introduces a major new talent in popular fiction writing.
