In Mallery's latest, following California Girls (2019), Margot and Sunshine Baxter, fraternal twins, start new live-in jobs at the same time. Willowy Margot moves into a monastery-turned-mansion when she is hired by Alec, a wealthy scholar, to coach Bianca, his movie-star mother, in etiquette, so she doesn't ruin her diplomat fiancé's career. Curvy Sunshine is hired by widower Declan as nanny to his young ant-obsessed son. Neither of the 31-year-old twins has ever married. Sunshine's habit of leaving jobs and moving whenever she falls in love has kept her from establishing a career. Margot's on-again, off-again relationship with a German filmmaker has taken her all over the world, but he always leaves her and she always goes running back to him whenever he reappears. Now the sisters are determined to improve their lives. Sunshine enrolls in college and Margot refuses her former boyfriend's attempts to contact her. Mallery's approach to the alternating stories of the sisters and their attraction to their powerful employers makes for an enjoyable diversion, perfect for a summer read.

Twin sisters Sunshine and Margot Baxter have decided to swear off men, forever. Who needs men when they have each other, great jobs, and fulfilling lives, right? Sunshine is determined that her past will not rule her future. She is back in school, loves her current nanny position, and it doesn't hurt that Connor's dad, Declan, is hot and single, although she's not interested. Margot's new contract with famous actress Bianca is just the kind of challenge Margot likes. She never bargained for Bianca's good-looking son, Alec, and a mysterious renovated monastery full of hidden treasure. Sunshine's and Margot's new adventures just might be their undoing as they find themselves falling in love. But love is always complicated, and old habits die hard. Can the sisters change the future and let go of the past? Are they destined to be spinster sisters, or have they finally found true love? VERDICT Mallery's latest novel (after California Girls) is a breath of fresh air for romantics, a sweet reminder that falling in love is never how you plan it and always a pleasant surprise.

Mallery (California Girls) combines heat and sweet in a delicious tale destined for beach blankets. Fraternal twins Margot and Sunshine Baxter couldn't be closer, but they also couldn't be more different. Reserved, by-the-book Margot is a dedicated and responsible etiquette coach, and her younger-by-eight-minutes, free-spirited, bombshell sister Sunshine is a nanny for an adorable and mature 8-year-old, Connor. Sunshine also has a history of abruptly abandoning jobs to travel with unworthy boyfriends. Neither expects to find true love on the job, but soon Margot falls for Alec, the only son of the aging movie star she's tutoring, and Sunshine discovers incredible chemistry with Declan, the widowed father of her charge. As the sisters navigate the risks of mixing work with romance, Mallery skillfully weaves in tantalizing details from the sisters' pastsâromantic hurts, the emotional devastation of being abandoned by their mother when they were childrenâto make the heart-tugging happily-ever-after all the sweeter. Mallery's gift for creating relatable characters and lively pacing results in a satisfying tale that will win her even more fans. Agent: Annelise Robey, Jane Rotrosen Agency. (June)
