Joe Goldberg is back. And he's going to start a family--even if it kills him. He's relocated to a cozy island in the Pacific Northwest, and set his sights on Mary Kay DiMarco, librarian. The trouble is . . . Mary Kaye already has a life. She's a mother. She's a friend. She's . . . busy. True love can only triumph if both people are willing to make room for the real thing. Joe cleared his decks. He's ready. And hopefully, with his encouragement and undying support, Mary Kaye will do the right thing and make room for him.
