back cover:

Is he the only sane person in town? Corporate shark Joe Montcrief wastes no time in getting exactly what he wants. And what he wants is to spend one brief night in Beaverton, Idaho, buy up most of the land for a fertilizer plant, and get out. No one warned him that Beaverton is home to a kooky collection of outrageous eccentrics who don't seem to grasp the concept of money, or that his B&B, the Shady Lady, is a former brothel, which now houses retired ladies of the evening. Then there's the proprietor of the B&B, Emmylou Sargent. Pretty, warm, and apparently not deranged, she's a baking, homemaking, small town girl - the sort of woman Joe would never be attracted to under normal circumstances. But nothing in Beaverton is normal. That must be why Joe's going wildy, passionately out of his mind for Emmylou. The only way to stay sane is to get out of town, before he gives in to to total erotic madness...

Or is normal highly overrated? Emmylou has always been level-headed. But then, she's never met anybody like Joe. When he's around, Emmylou feels like going deliciously, wickedly insane. Or maybe that old brothel magic is finally sarting to work on her. Emmylou is determined to keep Joe in Beaverton long enough to save her home town... even if she has to take leave of her senses and drive him completely crazy to do it...

Now, in a place that's Mayberry meets Bedlam, two people engaged in a battle of wills are about to discover that love isn't always sensible, and desire this srong can take them to a place beyond all reason...
