"Your head must be harder than rocks if you think I'm ever going to be swayed by your so-called charm..." Shannon Cassidy has no time for Cupid-especially when all he's done is bring her grief and heartbreak. Yet, when Cupid appears in the guise of the mother of the man she most loathes, even Shannon's firm resolve can be pierced by the arrows of love. Mick Banyon has had it with women. Even his well-meaning mother tends to aggravate and annoy him, especially when she suggests he forget the fiancee who broke his heart and left him wondering about his virility and pursue the cute, red-head across the street from his shop. Still, Mick finds pleasure in teasing Shannon and engaging verbal sparring matches that leave him more than mentally stimulated. When Shannon and Mick both seek the presidency of the Historic Main Street Association, it's Cupid who comes out the winner.
