Maggie Magee is an unemployed college graduate visiting her artist friend in Ireland for a couple of weeks. First impressions are everything, so when Maggie is nearly impressed on the front of the local lord's roadster she takes an instant disliking to him. Their paths and swords cross again when she takes a tour of his fine castle, and insults inadvertently fly before she bustles her ample behind out the door. To make matters worse she learns the lord is landowner to her friend's cottage, making her trouble with the lord trouble for her friend. How will she get herself, and her friend, out of this mess? Will the lord learn of their relationship and boot them both from the cottage? Will it ever stop raining? The first book in a series of stand-alone novels that take place in the same world.
