One more thing, Sommersgate House is haunted by the ghosts of the man who built it and the woman who was the love of his life. And anyway, she's decided if she ever has another husband (since the last one wasn't so great), he was going to be short, balding, have a paunch and worship the ground she walks on (none of these characteristics define Douglas in the slightest).
When he tells her (yes, tells her) she will be his wife, Julia thinks Douglas is (probably) insane. Not to mention, she has to deal with the active hostility of Douglas's frosty, Attila-the-Hun-in-a-skirt mother, Monique.ĭouglas decides the best way to give the children what they need, get his mother to behave and give himself what he wants is to marry Julia. Julia is struggling with grief and trying to make a go in a new country without much help from impossibly handsome but even more impossibly remote Douglas. After tragedy strikes, Douglas and Julia are forced to live together at Sommersgate and raise their newly-orphaned nieces and nephew.ĭouglas has no desire to raise his dead sister's children nor does he want the distraction of the tempting Julia living under his roof. Julia Fairfax is his stubborn American sister-in-law.
