SummaryCelebrated cartoonist Jared McCloud is plumb out of laughs.
To unblock his creative juices, he rents a secluded beach
house-and ends up falling into the Looking Glass world of
Cleo Alyssum.
Cleo isn't exactly a recluse, though living on an island
and scaring away trespassers aren't the actions of a social
butterfly. Cleo simply has more important things to do than
to waste time with the artistic, bullheaded hunk living in
her guest house. Yet somehow Jared and his devilish charm
inch their way into her life, reaching the warm places her
cold exterior cleverly hides. Will Cleo open her heart to
a man who falls short of her expectations?
After all, it wasn't her intention to fall for someone who
is almost perfect. . .
