Synopsis: BIRDS OF A FEATHER?
Tao Tandy can't wait to flee her sleepy life (safe fiancé, dead-end job) and migrate to the big city to find fame and fortune as a food photographer. First, however, she has to find somewhere to live….
Luck is on her side when she's offered rent-free accommodation in a beautiful London mansion—in exchange for—baby-sitting a parrot! Not just any old parrot. Sir Galahad is incredibly rare, not to mention worryingly clever. How hard can it be?
Apparently not as hard as her dream job working for a TV celebrity who has wandering hands and a suspicious girlfriend. Or the game of hide-and-seek she's thrown into with Chris, the sexy gardener who lives downstairs and spends all day watching Tao like a hawk! Which makes Tao mad. In fact, she's spitting feathers. It's time to show everyone who rules the roost!
