NOTE: Please read these stories in order; the characters have back stories that build through the novels.
If Meg Brooks ever plans to marry (gosh, she's almost on the shelf at 20 years of age), she'd best give up her wild ways and pay close attention to Mrs. Wolcott (at her finishing school, from book one). Life in a small town like Harmony is hard for tomboys and eccentrics. Thus, Meg becomes Margaret and she settles down to a controlled life of buttoned gloves, big hats and hot tea.
Matthew Gage is an investigative reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle who ferrets out corruption and cheating. He arrives in Harmony as Vernon Wilberforce, a Bissell carpet sweeper salesman, bent on winning the local fishing contest. There's still twittering about cheating in last year's fishing contest and Matthew has come to tell all. Unfortunately, it turns out that the scandal swirls about Meg's brother, who is now away at college.
This is a unique plot with lots of charming characters and funny situations. The two main characters, intent on showing new personas, instead attract their opposite to their true selves. Lovely.
