He's an embittered cynic. She's a perpetually cheerful Pollyanna.They both need to learn what trusting God really means. Disabled since birth, bullied as a child, Edinburgh author Brodie Maclean has no faith in God, or in human nature.

When he's forced to employ Flynn Ferguson as his housekeeper, it's instant dislike. She's too cheerful, she's too loud, she's too everything. Including distracting. How is he supposed to write with her around?

As soon as she can ("Tomorrow, please Lord?"), she'll quit.
