Picnics in Hyde Park

Hot summer romance ... or cold revenge? Super nanny, Zoe Harper is mad! It was bad enough discovering her ex-fiancé Greg cheating on her just weeks before their wedding. But now she's returned home to London to find her younger sister Melody has been left jobless, homeless, broke and dumped. Zoe is determined to get revenge on the infamous Reilly brothers for her sister's heartbreak. So when an unexpected opportunity gives Zoe a way in to uncaring--and dizzyingly gorgeous-- successful music producer Matt Reilly's world, she jumps at the chance to make him pay. But living with Matt as nanny to his two adorable, but complicated children, Zoe soon begins to suspect that not everything is as it seems ... Matt insists on pushing everyone away including his children, but why? And if his delicious summer kisses are anything to go by, he can't be that bad surely? Can Zoe convince Matt to open up a little and help fix this family before she leaves ... or worse, before Matt learns who she really is?

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Romance, Fiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.
