She’s ready for an early retirement from her practice before it drives her, well, like her patients. But at the behest of an old friend and mentor, she decides to take on one last case. Oh, how she wished she’d gone fishing in the warm, secluded Florida Keys as originally planned. To have a nice cold margarita in one hand and her fishing pole in the other. Instead, she might be spending the spring in merry ole England with a mixed bag of Devonshire nuts. Dr. Conover finds herself sucked into the madcap tangled web of this troubled but lovable woman. And now she’s determined to unravel Evelyn’s past and equally determined not to fall in love with Evelyn’s whimsy.
