Who can work in a house that's being remodeled? Not Maddie Houser, a novelist who gladly accepts the help of her eighty-year-old friend, Ginny, to arrange a stay in a charming bed and breakfast. As time passes, Maddie never sees Ginny's friend, the inn owner—but a friendship blossoms as the two leave messages for each other. Before long, Maddie feels a deepening admiration for her unseen host. . .and chagrin when she assumes she's falling for a man she's never seen. Which will she listen to. . .her head or her heart?
