Old Tappan, New Jersey, U.S.A.: Worldwide Library, 1999. James P. Dandy -- yes, that would make him Jim Dandy -- couldn't believe he'd said yes to going on an Elderhostel down on the New Jersey coast in the cold, ugly, gray days of waning winter. His wife had died a couple of years before, and Jim didn't really feel up to meeting new people and being thrust into new situations without her. But go he did, grumbling and pessimistically, and only half-heartedly interested in learning how to design, cut, sculpt, mold, trim, water and grow bonsai trees. Little did he know that the "new people" he was concerned with would include the lovely, blue-eyed artist Dodee Swisher; or the gruff, chain-smoking ex-army man assigned as his roommate at the motel; or the slick Hispanic motel manager; or the raven-haired gymnast who exercised on her balcony every morning; or the liquid-eyed East Indian woman; or the couple from Philadelphia who were taking a break from the garbage business....

When things looked their bleakest, an arrogant drifter rode onto her land in a raging storm, saved her horses, stole a kiss-and proceeded to turn her life upside down. She and Chase disagreed on everything from how to break a horse to the best way to fry potatoes, but when they came together in love's fiery embrace, all differences melted away. Each steamy kiss and passionate caress drew Libby deeper into a velvety whirlpool of desire. Chase Whitlaw had left comfortable life in Baltimore to fight the four long years in the Civil War. Now it was time to get on with his life, but first he had one important errand: he'd promised a dying Rebel that he'd deliver a locket to a lady out in New Mexico, and Chase intended to keep that promise, and then be on his way. But the moment he set eyes on proud and beautiful Libby Honeycutt, he knew he must sample her luscious charms.
