Synopsis

Actress Annie Mitchell is devastated. Her husband Max has run off with her best friend, leaving her with a stack of unpaid bills and the self-esteem of the last sandwich in a railway buffet. But salvation is on the horizon care of her agent, Julia, who has a tall, dark and disconcertingly sexy surprise up her sleeve. Protesting madly, Annie finds herself bound for Yorkshire and a starring role in rep'. The only problem being that Much Ado About Nothing has nothing on events at the Phoenix Theatre. Not only is Annie forced to work with Nick Ryan, Julia's surprise and the man Annie ditched for Max, but something or someone is determined to see the Phoenix reduced to ashes...

UK Kirkus review

A frothy, entertaining romance from television soaps journalist Hay. Heroine Annie Mitchell is a moderately successful actress - attractive, talented, but hopelessly in thrall to her rat of a husband, Max. When he suddenly elopes with her best friend, it takes the threat of penury and a fast-expanding waistline to drag her away from her chocolate addiction and force her to look for a job. What follows is the usual romantic formula as Annie discovers her new director is none other than an old flame, Nick Ryan. On the way to a happy ending there are all the usual misunderstandings and dramas - including a convoluted sub-plot involving a vengeful ghost, a disinherited son and a touch of big-business intrigue.
