Description: Faith and Hope led them into each other's arms

Becky Latimore's little sisters, Faith and Hope, thought it was high time she got married. Doctor or not, she was already twenty-seven years old!

But all Becky wanted was a summer of peace and quiet in New England's Berkshire Hills. And there was no peace with the infuriating, fascinating Jake Meadows around.. . .
