Pro hodné děvče Maru je tato práce únikem ze zoufale monotónního léta v Massachusetts. Eliza, která v minulosti získala titul Ideální dívka New Yorku, ví, že se jí tak naskýtá rychlá cesta zpátky do módního světa, který nikdy nechtěla opustit. A pro brazilskou „sexbombu“ Jacqui představuje jízdenku za přítelem do Ameriky, který jí slíbil, že napíše e-mail, hned jak se dostane domů, ale ne-udělal to. Koneckonců, co vlastně obnáší práce au pair? Přes den naplácat na dětičky krém na opalování a po večerech chodit na dýchánky na nejžhavější půdě, ne? Omyl! Eliza se zoufale snaží ututlat práci au pair před svými nanejvýš zhýčkanými přáteli – ti si totiž myslí, že je stále bohatá jako dřív.

Pokud se děvčatům podaří zvládnout povinnosti au pair a současně hamptonský společenský život, může z toho být nejneuvěřitelnější léto jejich života. Aby to vyšlo, budou muset držet pospolu. Dokážou to?

Just as things have settled down in the off-the-map Long Island town of North Hampton for the magical Beauchamp family, everything gets turned upside down once more when Freya's twin brother Fryr, or Freddie as he is called now, returns from Limbo with shocking news - that it was none other than Freya's fiance Killian Gardiner, who set up his downfall.

Until he falls for the wrong girl. While Freya tries to keep her brother from exacting revenge on the man she loves, Ingrid has her own problems. Her human boyfriend, Matt Noble, becomes entangled in a complicated investigation, and when the magical creatures at the center of it come to Ingrid for help, she has a difficult choice to make.
