Disillusioned and burned out, she’sretreated to her sister Jillian’s house in Virgin River to rest and reevaluate.Puttering in Jill’s garden and cooking with her heirloom vegetables is wonderful, but Virgin River is a far cryfrom San Francisco. Kelly’s starting to feel a little too unmotivated … until she meets Lief Holbrook. The handsomewidower looks more like a lumberjack than a sophisticated screenwriter—a combination Kelly finds irresistible. But lessappealing is Lief’s rebellious stepdaughter, Courtney. She’s the reason they moved from L.A., but Courtney’s findingplenty of trouble even in Virgin River.Kelly’s never fallen for a guy with such serious baggage, but some things are worth fighting for. Besides, a brattyteenager can’t be any worse than a histrionic chef … right?
