It's the Med and it's hot! Monique has been living paycheck to paycheck and now, if she can live in the old house in Collioure, France for one year, she will have it all. No bills and no worries. She should be happy, but it's not so easy between wondering where the money came from and whether the house is haunted. What did her aunt mean when she told Monique to "find passion?" Should she let Raphaël, the "Great Artist," paint her portrait? What about Jean-Richard, that cute surfer who rents the attic, Jean-Richard? Then that gorgeous young Catalan with the wavy hair sweeps her off her feet. Ooh la la! But then there is the man she left behind in California... Who can she trust? Just how many ghosts are there in the old house at the heart of Collioure? Is she brave enough to tough out a whole year with them? Take the plunge into the hot side of the Med with Monique. Don't forget your big hat and sunglasses! Oh, and never, never say Paint Me to a Frenchman.
