But all she gets for her bravado is a long, hard kiss. And suddenly, Jim Proctor isn't so bad after all. In fact, he's rather gorgeous, if a little headstrong. He's shopping for a wife and a mother for Maude ... but in Lucy's opinion, his first choice is nothing but a money-grabbing schemer. And being agood neighbor, Lucy just has to do something... .
