Courting Mr. Emerson -- Melody Carlson

When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The question is, will his change of heart be too late for Willow?<br/><br/>With her signature heart and touches of humor, fan favorite Melody Carlson pens a story of two delightfully eccentric characters who get a second chance at life and love.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Melody Carlson<br><b>Publisher:</b> Fleming H.
