Sophie Carmichael is a small town beauty queen who won multiple scholarships in high school, including the title "Harvest Queen." She's returned home from her pre-med studies at Duke to ride in the Thanksgiving parade alongside the new Harvest Queen. But since Sophie is close to failing some of her college classes, she's in a panic to find someone to help her.
When Sophie Carmichael busts into the local library looking for tutoring help, Michael "Mick" Shover suspects an intruder. But he finds that Sophie needs exactly what he can give her—access to the library and all its resources. Michael agrees to help Sophie but can't seem to keep his mind on the books. How could he have ever guessed that studying Anatomy could be so interesting?
