Celebrated cartoonist Jared McCloud is plumb out of
laughs. So he rents a secluded beach house for the fall to
unblock his creative juices–and ends up falling for the
reluctant landlady whose beautiful green-eyed glare reads
like a “No Trespassing” sign against the world.
Cleo Alyssum isn’t exactly a recluse, though living on an
island and avoiding people aren’t the actions of a social
butterfly. Cleo simply has more important things to do
than to chat with the sexy, artistic, impossibly
bullheaded hunk living in her guest house. Yet somehow
Jared and his devilish charm inch their way into her life,
reaching the warm places her cold exterior cleverly hides.
Will Cleo open her heart to a man who falls short of her
expectations? After all, it wasn’t her intention to fall
for someone who is almost perfect. . . .
