The Homemaker by Jewel E. Ann is now live!
A romance inspired by TS “Fortnight”
I was hers, but she was never mine.
Alice Yates is the hired “homemaker” for the Morrisons, an affluent couple in Minneapolis. For Alice, it’s a dream job to dress up like a 1950s housewife and read romance novels to Mr. Morrison before his afternoon nap.
But when the Morrisons’ only daughter returns home for the summer with her fiancé, Alice comes face- to-face with her shattered past—the only threat to her perfect life.
Eight years earlier, vacation rental owner Murphy Paddon had an impeccable vinyl record collection and did the most irresistible thing before kissing Alice, earning him a five-star rating. Their fortnight love affair was life-altering and ended tragically.
Murphy doesn’t know if Alice remembers him or whether he should tell his fiancée that the hired-help living in the guesthouse is the woman who irreparably broke his heart. He needs closure, but will the lingering glances and silent yearning lead to the end or just the beginning?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
The Homemaker was a doozy! I always know that I am going to absolutely love a Jewel E. Ann book, and this one was no different. Alice and Murphy’s story was captivating from start to finish; the vibe of this book reminded me more of her Transcend or Sunday Morning series than her lighter fare, like her Wildfire series. I really would love to circle back to this book and listen to the audio version, because I’d love to see what Robert Hatchett can do with this character.
This book has quirky, lovable characters, a gripping storyline, a second-chance romance told in dual timelines, and a whole lot of messy angst. Alice takes a job as a “homemaker” for a wealthy couple, and it comes complete with a cute little guest cottage to reside in. She never expected that her boss’s soon-to-be son-in-law was Murphy, the guy she had a whirlwind (but short-lived) romance with eight years ago.
The Homemaker packs so much within the pages; it’s so much more than a forbidden, second-chance romance. Missed connections, falling for the right person at the wrong time, grief, and loss. It’s angsty and messy, and perfectly Jewel E. Ann.
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
