When Ryan Clooney moves to the outskirts of a small town in Center County, the last thing he expects to stumble into is love. Cursed to always be single, he's burned-out on blind dates and pity "plus-ones". He's through waiting for The One to arrive. But once he meets Maggie, the beautiful, young widow next door, who appears to be everything he's dreamed of finding in a woman, his plans change.

Maggie O'Malley is not looking for love. Since losing her husband, she has withdrawn as much as possible from small-town life and prefers to be left alone. But her new neighbor doesn't seem to understand her desire for privacy, and the more he intrudes on her solitary life, the more she remembers how wonderful friendship can be.

Ryan is determined to win Maggie's heart, but it still belongs to her late husband. Life gets more complicated when Ryan's big, Irish family discovers Maggie is an O'Malley, since the O'Malley's and Clooney's have been sworn enemies for over half a century.



Will love and friendship be enough to heal a broken heart? Ryan believes so, but convincing Maggie will take patience and skill.
