Courting Mr. Emerson

When fun-loving artist Willow West meets buttoned-up George Emerson it's not exactly love at first sight - more like an 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?
