A children's book illustrator learns to open up when a chance at love enters the picture in this New England romance. Children's book illustrator Kylie Shaw has found a home in quiet, little Knights Bridge, Massachusetts. No one seems to know her here—and that's how she likes it. She carefully guards her privacy from her loft in a refurbished nineteenth-century hat factory. And then California private investigator Russ Colton moves in. Russ is in Knights Bridge to keep his client, eccentric Hollywood costume designer Daphne Stewart, out of trouble. Keeping tabs on Daphne while she considers starting a children's theater is a simple job—until Kylie opposes the idea of a theater opening in her building. Now Russ wonders how he can get this buttoned up beauty to let loose a little . . . like the adventurous characters in her books . . .
