Proud Mari

Contemporary Romance: Paradise isn't always perfect, especially when it's a run down fishing resort held together by a tough but vulnerable widow, three contentious kids and a grandmother who always manages to get the last word. Throw an overdue mortgage, cranky guests and a crooked politician into the mix, and the only thing that can save Fisherman's Paradise is the proverbial white knight in shining armor. Unfortunately, Marigold Adams gets Tom Soebieski: a burned out, know-it-all middle school teacher. His armor isn't merely tarnished, it's non-existent, but whether Mari knows it or not, Tom's exactly what she needs.
