Maggie Mae Gallagher

Abby Callier is more in love with Shakespearean heroes than any real man, and she's beginning to wonder if there is life for her outside the pages of a book. It doesn't help that her esteemed parents tend to view her as they would one of their science experiments gone wrong. On the eve of finishing her dissertation, she escapes her staid existence to live in the house she inherited from her Great Aunt Evie in the small town of Echo Springs, Colorado. Because, let's face it, when a woman starts comparing her life to horror films, it might be time for a break. Sheriff Nate Barnes believes in law and order and carefully building the life you want. In his spare time, he has been remodeling his house in the hope that one day it will be filled with the family he makes, But Nate doesn't like drama or complications and tends to avoid them at all costs. And yet, when Miss Abigail Callier, his newest neighbor, beans him with a nine iron, he can't help but wonder if she might just be the complications he's been searching for all along. It doesn't hurt that he's discovered a journal hidden away by the previous tenant, and decides to use Old Man Turner's advice to romance Abby into his life
