The Little Lady Agency
3 total works
When sweet, naive Melissa seeks a job with her old Home Economics teacher she is half way through the interview before it dawns on her that Mrs McKinnon isn't interested in her cookery skills, but is in fact running an escort agency. Melissa panics, but she needs the cash - and what harm can providing lonely men with stimulating conversation over dinner do? More exciting still, she'll get to wear a disguise! Enter her alter ego: Honey. As flirty and feminine as a Bond girl, as confident and sexy as Mary Poppins in silk stockings, Honey brings out a side to Melissa she never knew she had. A side that will get her into hot water, (and out of it) and that she'll never want to lose!
At home, Melissa is a pushover in an Alice band. But at the Little Lady Agency, she transforms herself into blonde bombshell Honey: a super confident supernanny to hapless men all over London - with a desk diary that's bursting. Only now her American boyfriend Jonathan has invited her to New York for a holiday - on the condition that Honey and the blonde wig stay at home. Reluctantly leaving the agency in the hands of her tactless best mate and terrifying sister, Mel flies out...Before she knows it, she's agreed to polish the talented but rude rising star Ric Spencer, who just so happens to be an ex, while having to juggle Jonathan, his manipulative ex-wife, a wilful terrier, and escalating crises back in England. Can Melissa put the manners back into Manhattan? Or is this a challenge only Honey can tackle?
Melissa is the shy, shockable sweetheart of a property tycoon. Honey is Supernanny meets Superwoman - the gal on a one-woman mission to Make Men Better. To an outsider, they're two completely different women. But they're actually one and the same. Until now, this has ticked along quite nicely - with Honey merely being Mel's professional persona, when she's running The Little Lady Agency. But now her grandmother has asked her to take on the case of a lifetime: namely improving Prince Nicolas of Hollenberg - Europe's most playboy of princes - who, despite his good breeding, is completely set on leading Melissa astray. And all this blue blood is making her fiance, Jonathan, finally see red. And this isn't all that's on Mel's plate. She's trying to set up her flatmate Nelson with a nice girl; her increasingly-bonkers family are making all sorts of demands on her; her best friend Gabi is getting married...oh, and she has her own fairytale ending to find. Can Mel rise to the challenge of reforming Prince Charmless? Will the Little Lady Agency survive? And has her own prince been there all along?
