"What do you mean she hid the will?"

Handsome efficiency expert Julian--Mr. I've-got-a-system--Lord lived and breathed logic. Unfortunately, the situation at Willow's End following his beloved Aunt Maudie's death was anything but logical.

His ex-stepsister Callie was Ms. Disorganization herself. A couple of juvenile delinquents and a crazed electrician were tearing down the walls. And Brutus, Maudie's two-hundred-pound Saint Bernard, thought he was human. Callie did, too.

Then Julian learned Maudie had hidden her will in a posthumous matchmaking attempt, and realized logic didn't stand a chance. Still, when he found himself falling in love with Callie, he wondered if Maudie was really so crazy after all.
