She knows the gift will come with complications ... but she doesn't expect love.
When Molly accepts her father's gift of a log cabin on a beautiful island, she knows there will probably be strings attached.
She's prepared to stumble over the problems her artist father inevitably leaves in his wake, she certainly doesn't expect to fall in love with neighbor Patrick McNaughton while she's busy finishing illustrations for a children's book and dealing with her father's abandoned cat.
Patrick is the man of her dreams, but just when she begins to dream of future with him, her father's abandoned problems come calling on her door and she realizes that she's the last woman a man like Patrick can afford to love.
