  A loose cannon in a chicken hat!' That's what architect David Whittaker thought Kelly Bouchard was, with her campaign to reform the lunch menus of West Dartmouth's public schools and her collection of off-the-wall hats. But the free-spirited owner of Pure and Simple, the town's only health-food store, was much more than that. Kelly was downright dangerous to David's plans to build the new high school West Dartmouth so desperately needed--she'd become an innocent pawn in a town where local politics was a bare-knuckle game. Worse than that, Kelly was a danger to David's peace of mind, and maybe to his heart."
