Works too hard, would never have written this ad, so we wrote it for her. Spunky redhead has head for business, eye for art, heart for God. An all-American beauty. Needs a good man! When the nineteen-year-old twins who work at Bonny Fairley's fine craft gallery place a personal ad in the paper on her behalf, Bonny is mortified. A personal ad? She's not that desperate! Then the ex-husband who'd abandoned her shows up in town vowing to win back her heart--and Bonny starts returning calls and making dates as if her life, not to mention her happiness, depended on it. What better way than finding herself a boyfriend to prove to Timothy that she's over him for good? What she doesn't count on is a lovable mutt named Cleo and the busybody townfolk of Pilchuck, Washington--most of whom believe that Bonny really ought to give her ex a second chance. And after a string of hilarious, harrowing dates, Bonny herself begins to wonder. When all is said and done--will it be all over for Timothy? Or all over for Bonny's heart?
