She then meets cosmetics mogul Laurel Limoges and becomes the live-in tutor for Laurel's twin granddaughters, Rose and Sage, in wealthy Palm Beach, Florida.
The rebellious teens are unenthusiastic about their new tutor, but Megan enjoys perks like a private suite, a convertible, and a live-in chef named Marco.
