Meg Donnelly has resigned her postition at a prestigious New York girl's school to teach in a primitive, two-room school near the Appalachian mountain cottage left to her by her beloved grandmother. When a financial crisis forces her to rent the upper portion of her home for the summer, she begins to wonder if she can tolerate her troublesome tenant for three long months. All best-selling author John Austin Bruce wants is a chance to write in isolation-peace and quiet for a few months. He'll do anything-even disguise his real name-to find that peace. But he didn't count on a landlady as bothersome as she is beautiful. Amidst all these sparks of adversity, can such an unlikely pair find love? Perhaps-but it will take a miracle.
