Patsy Lee O'Malley has always been the pushover in the family, so when she breaks her ankle and needs someone to help mobilize her four children, her family decides on the most unlikely person. Unable to stand up for herself, she lets the gorgeous man take over her house.

Zeke Townley is a loner with a bad case of boredom. While visiting a former bandmate he gets roped into helping out Patsy Lee. In fact, he even volunteered. But while he entertains her children and tries to get closer, Patsy Lee's self-image scares her into thinking he doesn't care.

Zeke has a knack for Patsy Lee. He understands her children, feeds them well, even cleans like a housemaid, and cares for her animals, but he seems to be looking for something more. And that something more is what Patsy Lee is afraid of.

Ms. Corgiat has created a great family and an even more likable handsome beau for the talented heroine. The two were made for each other, and I loved the intimacy that the two gained from their forced weeks together. The setting is perfect and the house even more perfect. A thoroughly lovely book.
