For Better or For Worse

Welcome to Twin Oaks - the new B and B in Cooper's Corner. Some come for pleasure, others for passion - and one to set things straight - Check-in: Veterinarian Alex McAlester is the man to go to in Cooper's Corner for sound advice and a shoulder to lean on. But don't ask him to get emotionally involved. Since his wife's death eight years ago, his closest relationship has been with his dog, Bagel - until he insists on "helping out" Jenny Taylor - by marrying her! Checkout: Jenny has been diagnosed with a rare illness, and if she were Alex's spouse, his insurance would cover her mounting medical costs. But Jenny wants more than a marriage based on gratitude. She wants those strong shoulders - and Alex's love.
