Review & Description
Architect Steve Stratton knows what he wants ...a long-legged beauty with an attitude! Even though Steve has enough charm to make an angel tumble, Gwen Mansfield is determined to keep her distance. Besides, she's busy enough and NOT looking for love! Maintaining Scarborough Hall, her beloved mansion-turned-apartment house, has her moonlighting as a jewelry store clerk at the mall to help pay the bills. With four broken engagements(she has the rings to prove it) there's no way she's going to subject herself to further humiliation by jumping into another relationship. She's intent on rebuilding her reputation by not losing Scarborough Hall to the mortgage company; besides, her tenants are counting on her.
Steve's not dissuaded by her white-lies; he manages to rent her last vacant apartment, then makes himself indispensable. While their undeniable attraction heats up, Gwen's heart soon begins to melt. From helping a tenant's child realize a special dream to dazzling Gwen with a surprise right out of a fairy-tale, Steve is relentless in his pursuit to win her. Life with Steve begins to look possible and totally wonderful until an unexpected visitor knocks his plans into the nearest slushy gutter. But don't worry. A wonderful love like this can't be wrong...but just how will Gwen make things right!?
