Annie Kubek is heartily sick of her mother insisting that she and Michael Reeves were born for each other. The ludicrous becomes the preposterous when Michael visits Annie's beloved rural community twenty-five years after they shared a crib.
No way can park naturalist Annie see herself with a man who lives in Los Angeles and looks like he just stepped out of the pages of GQ. Despite her big, meddling family, she'd never leave Pennsylvania. And Michael, who equates success in business with happiness, would never dream of staying there.
Annie's mistake is in cheerfully spelling out the multitude of reasons Michael doesn't attract her. Because Michael, although he first tries to deny his attraction to Annie, is determined to prove to this headstrong and stubborn career woman that the sparks between them are real.
