The Housekeeper Who Tried to Marry Me Off — Novel

About

In a world where wealth and independence clash with tradition, Zoey Swanson finds herself at odds with her new housekeeper, Violet Lawrence, whose relentless meddling pushes her to the brink. As Violet’s well-meaning but intrusive attempts to secure her future lead to chaotic encounters, Zoey is determined to carve her own path—one that doesn’t include unwanted suitors or outdated expectations. But when Violet’s son, Isaac, arrives uninvited, the stakes escalate.

How can Zoey protect her hard-earned freedom from a family that believes marriage is her only destiny? Each confrontation reveals layers of tension, as the boundaries between employer and employee blur. With a house that feels more like a battleground than a home, Zoey grapples with her identity while navigating Violet’s harsh lessons on love and loyalty.

As secrets unfold and alliances are tested, the question remains: can Zoey stand her ground against the tide of tradition, or will she find herself swept away in a life she never wanted? With her future on the line, it’s not just a matter of choosing whom to love, but also who she can trust.

The Housekeeper Who Tried to Marry Me OffChapter 1

I was buried in work at my desk when a shadow fell over me. Violet Lawrence, my new housekeeper, loomed uncomfortably close.

"Zoey, look at you," she clucked. "All day long, you're either glued to that phone or playing on the computer. Your room is a pigsty. If you have time to sit around, you should be cleaning."

My fingers froze over the keyboard. I turned to look at her, incredulous.

"Isn't that exactly what I hired you to do?" I asked, my voice cool. "If I have to clean my own room, why am I paying you?"

Violet pursed her lips, adopting a look of martyred patience. "I'm only saying this for your own good. No matter how rich a woman is, she still has to get married eventually."

She shook her head disapprovingly. "Look at you—lazy. You can't cook, you can't do laundry. How will your future in-laws ever respect you? Just listen to me. I wouldn't steer you wrong..."

I raised a hand, cutting her off.

"Even if I get married, I won't need to scrub floors. And Mrs. Lawrence, let's get one thing straight: I hired a housekeeper, not a mother-in-law."
