Synopsis:
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?

The Homemaker by Jewel E. AnnMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Homemaker by Jewel E. Ann is unputdownable Kindle Crack. This is the first book in The Chain of Lakes Series, inspired by Taylor Swift’s song Fortnight. The Homemaker takes you on a heartbreakingly beautiful—and sometimes gut-wrenching ride through second chances, tragic pasts, and the kind of love that refuses to stay buried. Let me get this out of the way first: there’s a cheating element, but it’s the kind born from unfinished business of the heart.
Alice and Murphy fell hard for each other years ago, but their short-lived romance ended when Alice had to face the painful past she’d been trying to escape. Life unraveled, and Murphy was left behind.
Fast forward years later: Alice has built a new life working as a homemaker, playing the role of a 1950s-style housewife for a wealthy couple — a job she surprisingly adores. But when the couple’s daughter and her fiancé return home for the summer, fate throws Murphy back into Alice’s world. Suddenly, all those unfinished feelings resurface, and nothing for Alice, Murphy, or the family will ever be the same again.
I loved Alice and Murphy’s complex relationship. While reading their story, I felt like walking a tightrope of emotions. The Home Maker was equal parts heartbreaking and hopeful as they slowly reconnected. Jewel weaves their journey seamlessly from past to present, crafting a tangled web of love, lies, secrets, and heartbreak.
If you crave an emotional second-chance romance that’s as addictive as it is messy, The Home Maker is one-click worthy and on my Best of 2025 list.
