Birds of a Feather — Mary Lou Rich

STICK TOGETHER

Take one winsome widow, a cute kindergartener, a zany senior citizen, and an exotic, six-foot-tall bird. What do you get? A peck of trouble -- as far as Grant Ferguson is concerned. It's bad enough that his eccentric mother, Ivy, has taken in Lisa Bennet, her young son, and their ungainly pet. Now the two women have hatched a scheme to start an ostrich ranch. What's a level-headed man to do? Fly the coop, of course!

Lisa can't help being amused by Ivy's stressed-out son. It doesn't take much to annoy Grant -- and for some reason, her very presence does just that. Suddenly Grant is under doctor's orders to rest and stay put under his mother's roof. But Lisa knows the best medicine: turn the quaint old farmhouse into a cozy love nest. And before Lisa knows it, she's in Grant's arms... and he's in love.
