Courting Mr. Emerson

It's never too late to fall in loveWhen fun-loving artist Willow West meets buttoned-up George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. More like intriguing project at first sight. Willow makes it her mission to get the obsessive-compulsive, newly retired English teacher to loosen up and embrace life, but even she has to admit it seems like a lost cause.A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them.But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The question is, will his change of heart be too late for Willow?Praise for Melody Carlson's Novels"A perfect and inspiring summer read."--Publishers Weekly on All Summer Long"[A] delightful story from an author who has made a career of tugging on our heartstrings."--Family Fiction on All Summer Long"A treat for aficionados of character-driven fiction."--Library Journal on Under a Summer SkyMelody Carlson is the award-winning author of over two hundred books with sales of more than seven million.
