Rocky Road (Men Made in America, Maine, No 19)

Nothing ever happened on Muscatoon Island After two years of devouring mystery novels and acting as a part-time cook for the Muscatoon Inn, Jeannie MacPherson realized that her vacation from her sensational ice-cream empire was definitely losing its charm. So how could she ignore the arrival of Mathew Connelly? His forbidding demeanor aroused Jeannie's curiosity, and his obviously painful limp piqued her sympathy. Clearly Mathew needed a friend, and as his only neighbor on the island's eastern shore, Jeannie naturally elected herself to the post. She did not question the wisdom of her lighthearted decision or wonder about the reasons for Mathew's arrival on the remote little island until it was much too late.
