About the book
Bridget had enough problems. An attractive but unconventional -- and, it seemed, quarrelsome -- tenant; a sister in love with the wrong man; the responsibility of someone else's children; and more besides. How she coped with these difficulties is told in this charming story set in Eire, that chancy country where anything can happen. (Harlequin #919)
