“William Strachan is tall and blond and handsome.  He cooks homemade ravioli, cuts trees down with a chainsaw, and plays the guitar.  When Francine rents two rooms form him, her daughter, nine-year-old Tess, cannot believe their good luck, and sets out on a campaign to make him lover her.  But William has three daughters of his own, a wife 500 miles away and a half-built garage to finish.  And then there is Tess’s brother to win round – Jake, who from the first day feels nothing for William but contempt.”
